There’s a reasonably high-profile athlete who is trying to leave his current team, probably for a bigger one, and as a result hasn’t lined up as expected in a big event. In his mind, he has fulfilled all that needs to be done to make the move happen, but there is one significant problem: he has a contract which runs until 2028.
Now, I could be talking about Derek Gee here, who was revealed last week to be attempting to terminate his contract with Israel-Premier Tech, and so isn’t at the Vuelta a España. The Canadian clearly believes that he is able to leave the team, releasing a statement which said “certain issues simply made my continuation at the team untenable”.
