Robbie Hunter has left his role as a director sportif at Cannondale-Garmin in order to pursue new projects.
Hunter, who rode for the team before moving into their management structure, will continue to work as a rider agent while he considers some other options. He has ruled out returning as a director in the near future.
“I’m looking around and have a couple of options, but I’m not going to be working with any teams as such,” he told Cyclingnews.

“I prefer to spend some time at home as I have young kids at home still. I’ve spent too much time away, and I have a couple of things on the cards. I want to stay in cycling and work with athletes, so I’m just looking at my options going forward.”
The South African and former Tour de France stage winner retired from professional cycling in 2013, having raced for Mapei, Lampre, Rabobank, Phonak, Barloworld, RadioShack and Garmin. He took up the reigns as a DS in 2014 at Jonathan Vaughters’ team and paid tribute the opportunities the American team provided him with.
“I spent a lot of time away, and we decided mutually to move on. There was nothing major to be honest. My time there was very good, and I have very good relationships with guys like Andreas Klier, Charly Wegelius, Fabrizio Guidi, guys I’m really good friends with.”
