杜老爺在Twitter上的留言是這麼寫的 We have decided that I will leave the Vuelta. Both our coaching staff and I think it is the best choice to get off the bike. At the start of the Vuelta I already felt tired and that feeling remained. It makes no sense for me to continue. Because then I might put a strain on next season. It is not desirable to leave the Vuelta, but this is the right choice. We can all agree on that. With @rogla we are in good shape in the general classification. Hopefully the team can take home the win.
