Marcel Kittel:
“On my request Team KATUSHA ALPECIN (TKA) and I have mutually decided to an early termination of my current contract.
在我的要求下,喀秋莎-欧倍青车队和我共同决定提前解除我们之间目前的合同。
It was for me a long decision process where I raised a lot of questions about how and where I want to go as a person and athlete and what is really important to me. I love cycling and my passion for this beautiful sport is never gone, but I also know what it requires from me and what I need to do to be successful. I believe that everyone has his strengths and weaknesses and that it is an ongoing process to deal with them within a team to be strong and successful. In the last two months I have had the feeling of being exhausted. At this moment, I am not able to train and race at the highest level. For this reason, I have decided to take a break and take time for myself, think about my goals and make a plan for my future.
我本人花了很长时间来做出这一决定。在此期间我曾经反复自问:作为一个人、以及作为一名运动员,我究竟想要以何种方式去向哪里?对我来说真正重要的东西是什么?我热爱自行车运动,我对这项美丽运动的热情一如既往,但我更知道我需要为这项运动付出多大的努力才能取得成功。我相信每个人都有自己的长处和弱点,而一个团队则要在摸索实践中学会扬长避短,才能达到最优的合作效果。在过去的两个月里,我总是感到精疲力竭,以至于无法在最高的水平上训练和比赛。鉴于此,我决定暂时稍作休息,以重新思考我的职业目标,并做出未来的规划。
At this point I´d like to thank the team for the last 1.5 years and their support. Especially I´d like to thank the team staff. From the bottom of my heart I can say that they are the best and hardest working people that I´ve ever seen. I´m sorry that I couldn´t fuel your passion with more wins and results. I´d like to thank the sponsors and partners as well that keep believing in the team with their support and knowledge.
在此我想要感谢车队在过去一年半以来对我的支持,特别要感谢车队的工作人员,我从心底认为他们是我见过的工作最努力的一群人。很遗憾我没有办法用更多的胜利来回报你们的努力。我还要感谢车队的赞助商和合作伙伴,他们始终给予车队最大程度的信任和支持。
I´ve taken this decision based on my experience that changes lead you to new paths and opportunities. Despite all the insecurities I´ve got confidence that I ultimately will find new chances and challenges. From now on I will put my happiness and joy above everything and seek ways to find this also in my future. I´m very excited about what is going to come. I would like to ride and race again in the future and I have to work out a plan to be able to reach this goal.
过往的人生经历让我懂得,改变往往能带来新的机会,所以我才做出了这样的决定。尽管前路未知,但我相信我终将找到新的机会与挑战。在接下来的一段时间里我将充分享受生活,并且想办法让自己在未来的日子里仍然可以享受生活。我对即将面对的一切感到兴奋不已,我仍然希望能够继续骑车并且再次比赛,我将做出详细的规划以达成这一目标。
This is the biggest challenge of my career and I´m accepting it.”
这是我的职业生涯中最大的一次挑战,我决定接受它。
