Hansen has been part of the Lotto-Soudal set-up since 2011, after leaving HTC Highroad the year before. At 36, he is the second oldest in the team’s line-up and one of the most experienced. During his run of Grand Tour appearances, Hansen took two stage wins.
The Australian says that not making the cut has been a bitter pill to take and not how he wanted his record-breaking run to end.
“I am not thrilled with this decision, and it’s hard for me to take. It’s not the way I wanted it to end, but this is the team choice, and it’s not in my control. I have to respect what they say,” said Hansen. “The Vuelta is one of the best Grand Tours and in our team, it’s always a good race for me.
Il a pas l'air hyper content Hansen.
De toute façon, vu son âge et le renouvellement qui semble en cours chez LottoSoudal, je me demandais s'il serait prolongé. J'imagine que non, du coup
