Miguel Ángel López has opened up about his controversial exit from Movistar, revealing that, even before that infamous incident at the Vuelta a España, he had a number of mounting concerns.

The Colombian remains tight-lipped about the very exchanges that saw him storm out of the Spanish Grand Tour two days from the end, given the confidentiality clause inserted into the agreement to dissolve his contract.
