I know he rubs some people up the wrong way but seeing someone upset like that and feeling like he has let people down is tough to watch.
I really hope he goes all in with a coach, bike fit nutritionist etc, it would be sad to see someone of his talents effectively waste his potential. It will take a real show of faith on his part as JBell is right, he does seem to have trust issues. I imagine his wife will be key in this to keep him on the right track once he has committed to something different.
I hope he can accept too that 2019 might be a development year as opposed to fast track to success. He might have to go backwards before he goes forwards if things need redeveloped.
I’m a fan, and I have to admit that I got a little tired of him talking out of his butt. This was pretty tough to watch, this stuff isn’t easy to admit.
My initial thought was that I hope Erin holds his feet to the fire and forces him to make the changes he talks about.
The good thing is that he is still relatively young (at least for this sport) so he still has time if he start now. It should be an interesting 6 months.
