Summary
Here I am trying to get some easy ZZZ's in January when there is no racing going on and the next thing I know I receive a Whatsapp message from Benji at 3 in the morning and my phone is blowing up once I wake up later because Marc Hirschi, the Swiss Phenom, has had his contract terminated with Team DSM (formerly known as Sunweb) on January 5th. No reason has been given for his contract being terminated by either side, nor any other team confirmed as his next team. All very odd but somewhat in keeping with the way Team DSM has operated the last few years. Benji and I break it down in this podcast.
