“After 13 years as a professional cyclist, this comes to an end. It wasn’t my choice, but I’m grateful for the last few years. I had a great career, but it’s still difficult because I expected to race at least at 35 years old. I thank all the fans who followed and supported me, the teams and staff for all the opportunities and what they did for me, my teammates for their teamwork and also for everything we experienced together”, said the cyclist.
