O ciclista norte-americano, Andrew Talansky acaba de anunciar através da sua conta de Instagram, que acaba de arrumar a bicicleta, deixando assim o ciclismo profissional.

No comunicado, Talansky revela muito pouco das razões que o levaram a tomar tal decisão, apenas diz que com o final da carreira profissional de ciclismo (foram 7 anos), abre-se a oportunidade de um novo começo, para seguir a sua paixão, sem no entanto revelar qual será o seu futuro.

After a great deal of thought and consideration, it is time to bring down the curtain on my career as a professional cyclist. It has been a truly incredible ride. I’ll miss my teammates and the camaraderie on and off the bike, but most of all I’m going to miss the fans. Few sports put its fans closer to the action, which is a large part of what makes pro cycling so special. Your support and encouragement, on good days and bad, has meant more to me than I can express. I’ve lived out a dream and I have Slipstream Sports and you, the fans, to thank for that. While this is the end of the road for my pro cycling career, it’s also a new beginning to follow my passion, and I look forward to sharing more soon. Until then, on behalf of myself and my family, thanks for seven great years.
