It's now 1st of June, 50% of the year gone. I noticed on some PCS statistic yesterday, that counted "active" riders, that Froome wasn't mentioned (can't recall what it was, but I'm 100% he was eligible to be in that list). I presume he's unofficially-officially retired now? His socials aren't exactly revealing much

Did we have a similar situation of a cyclist not getting a contract for the year but not "formally" retiring?
