He admits however that he felt compelled to stop now and recover, and admitted that he had been frustrated by his condition: "At one point I started having a bad feeling: I felt vulnerable, and I found myself in the position of someone doing something he hates. It's like finding yourself doing a job you can't stand, but that you have to do anyway.
"It was a really bad feeling for me, to realise that while I was riding my bike, while I was racing and fighting against my rivals, I was really pushing to the maximum, I was giving it my all, but there was nothing I could do to avoid those results I don't like. They are not up to my usual level of performance.
Stick a fork in him. The same thing is going to happen if/when he comes back. "I was giving my all, but there was nothing I could do to avoid those results I don't like." Yeah you and everybody else on the grid, except one. So do they all need a brake too? Should they start freaking out and hurling in their helmets also? I am afraid history is doomed to repeat itself in this situation. He is going to get that "bad feeling" the moment he doesn't feel competitive again. Which I feel this time away will only have him more off his game. While he is on the farm playing with the piggies other riders have been stepping their game up.
