  Couldnt. He was ready to retire at 35. So he couldnt ride after his 41 year old

Rantanplan at 23:30 14/11-2020
  He could have ride until 42, like Valverde... :)

Team WonderDee at 14:23 9/11-2020
  Hopefully an other good talents pop up in the talents soon, because now Hetland is gone from my team page :( Strange and bit sad.

Universal Soup at 14:37 7/11-2020
  Great rider, shame for the early forced retirement! Hopefully you'll get a rider like that from the talent feature again.

Holwerda Cycling at 11:16 7/11-2020
  What a Career, what a rider!
  Shame he never won a tour, but he is the perfect one day racer.
  And yes, what a prize money!
  Training from YA is much fun, you made the right choice training him :)


Team WonderDee at 08:40 7/11-2020
  Not sure if everyone would have trained him. But luckily he loved training :)
