Alex Peters will leave Team Sky and return to his former Continental-ranked team SEG Racing Academy for 2017, the British team announced on Monday. The 22-year-old rode for Team Sky last season and had a contract for this year but has preferred to take a temporary step back in his racing career due to some personal issues.
“I’ve had a tough time recently and struggled with some personal issues that have made it difficult for me to give the team, and my cycling career, my full commitment,” Peters said on the Team Sky Facebook page. “Having spoken to the team and those around me, we’ve agreed together that I will return to the SEG Racing Academy."
“I do feel like I will be making a step back to make strides forward. I’ve learned an enormous amount and I’m keen to succeed as a cyclist over the long term at the top level. I’m looking forward to continuing my development."

“I would like to thank everyone at Team Sky for their support.”
Peters indicated he plans to return to highest level as soon as possible.
“I’m sure it’s the right decision to continue my development at SEG Racing Academy. I’ve got a book full of learning points to work on and can’t wait to make the necessary progress to succeed and come back to the highest level," he said in a statement from the SEG Racing Academy.
