I always tried to keep the racing and business separate. He didn't. I got the following yesterday - some names changed "
This email is to confirm, that as of Jan 1 2010, you are no longer a member of TBH. This termination is due to a direct conflict of interests concerning business practices and has nothing to do concerning other teammates.
This concludes TBH and psimet's relationship."
Looks like I am racing unattached next year.
That f@#$ing sucks man. Too many egos get wrapped up in this stuff when really, 99% of us are doing this for fun and fitness...this isn't the ProTour for pete's sake. At least now that you are unattached you can play off the other team's tactics and have no responsibilities but to anyone but yourself. Best to you this year...our first race is about 1 month away...
