I have no problem with it. He's a 20yr kid in his first big year of being under pressure daily so why not take a few days off to freshen up in a planned gap. Can you think of another sport where the stars work 6 or 7 days a week in 3 or 4 different countries for 6 months non stop. Not forgetting the support team.
Maybe for some but I'd assume the meeting is part of the overall deal a rider has with a club and sponsors. Once the tapes go down pride will kick in. See what happens.
BT Sport wont show a crash replay until they know the rider is Ok but the Poles show 10 different angles within a few seconds. Surprised they dont have a camera in the ambulance.
