South African Robbie Hunter has pulled out of the Tour of Murcia on Friday after delivering wins to his Garmin-Transitions team in the first two stages of the event. Now Hunter will be witnessing a delivery of his own, as he rushes to join his wife who has gone into labor.
The birth of the 32 year old’s daughter just before the 2008 Tour de France has given the sprinter the valuable experience necessary to help power his wife through the contractions and secure what will no doubt be his biggest victory of the season.
