In one of the more surprising moves of 2019, Blondey McCoy announced today that he no longer rides for Palace. The adidas pro took to Instagram to write a personalized note that explains the significance that his former sponsor had on his career. McCoy was picked up by Palace in 2012 when he was just 14, and it was only three years old. He became the face of the brand in the years that followed, and utilized the platform to launch his Thames project, and more recently Blondey. No word on where he will end up; but you can view the announcement below.
