Why should he retire??
Last interview I heard was he was doing well and wants to ride again. Hopefully he makes it back.

Let the man decide whether he is up to it or not. Athlete's know when they can't perform up to their own expectations usually. He always has the TV gig there for him.

BTW - anyone hear anything about Garret Gomez ?

"It's nice to just sit and enjoy the everyday things you take for granite. — with Meaghan Phillips. " Seems like he is enjoying retirement.

Maybe by "everyday things" he was referring to countertops? Or he's taken up recreational geology?

Nah, I got nuthin'.
