Apparently (according to Inner Ring), he's been sacked by Omega Pharma.

For 'image' problems, whatever that means. They expressly say that it's nothing to do with doping.

Strange.

Anyhow, yup, looks like it...........if you can read between the lines of his sub Cantona-esque rambling:

Of late, subconscious elements have crept in slowly and steadily leading to a bogus phase of being so eager to be involved mixed with the slow process of recovery we cannot be 100% sure the first race will be of the highest quality, but thankfully the people surrounding me have blessed me with the confidence to once again feel the heat around the corner. Not to mention a brilliant team who’ve given me the opportunity to once again step it up a notch in order to remain directly driven towards the event I anticipate the most- The Giro D’Italia.. If Iv’e been bleeding in places you cant see, and feeling the affects of doors being locked, I’ve called the people who change the locks, and the gate is open… All I have to do is ‘opan the gate’..

Many people say ‘dont let yourself get attachet to annything you are youre not willing to feel the ramifications around the corner’.. But this corner (as twisted as it may have been) is behind me, and I refuse to look behind as my character fails to let me do so, particularly disliking the place I was sitting in. So I’ll face the concequences I’ve attached myself with. through the assistance of particular and fattest crew of understanding people of these life-style changes.

I'm trying to figure out if I should be insulted.

I appreciate the team are keen to stress it's not a drugs thing, but having read that I'm not convinced I believe them.

GreenEdge may well have played a part, but I'm deducing that the boy's not in the best mental health.

Please tell me that was machine translated from Flemish to French then to English.

Tusher

If only it was.

rick_chasey

Never struck me as a guy who fitted in with what's a pretty old skool team.

The only stuff he did with Omega was totally on his own ( i.e. stage 6 in last years Giro and hoovering up the odd mountain sprint).

Exactly - winning stage 6, hoovering up the odd mountain sprint :P

takethehighroad

Is he now free to sign with a new team immediately then?

Tusher

Presumably.
And presumably that will be an Australian team.

From reading that text, which I think was written in English first, I'd agree with Tusher that he appears to be having some serious psychiatric problems.
