ユルゲン・ローランツはツイッターで

サイクリングは私の人生の大きな部分を占めてきたので、これは難しい決断だった。

私は12歳で始めたので、24年間のキャリアがある。しかし、状況とあらゆる種類の怪我のために、レースで到達したいレベルで走ることが出来なくなった。

ワールドツアーのレースに出場するために必要なものがあることはわかっているが、痛みを抱えながらのトレーニングやレースは、信じられないほどつらいものです。肉体的にも精神的にも。

ケガがなければ、継続も可能だったのだろうけど残念な決断となった。

Coming into the last part of the season, I am officially announcing my retirement from professional cycling at the end of this year. As I’m still suffering from an injured shoulder due to a crash in the BinckBank Tour I’ll unfortunately not race anymore this season. It was a tough decision to make. Especially since cycling has always been such a big part of my life. I started cycling from the age of 12, that makes 24 seasons in total. However, due to the circumstances and various injuries, I’m not able to compete at the highest level, or the level I would like to be at. I know I still have what it takes to compete at World Tour races, but training and racing with pain – day in, day out – makes it incredibly hard. Physically and mentally. Yet, I’m proud of the things I’ve achieved during my career. I raced for the best and most successful teams, was able to ride beautiful races and to compete at the highest level. I took the national jersey as my first pro win, stepped onto the podium in some of my favorite classics, like Flanders and Milan – San Remo. My top 5 and top 10 finish at the World Championships and the Olympic Games respectively are results to be proud on. I have so many people to thank: family, friends, teammates, staff members (that feel like family and friends), fans, race organizers, … Though, I want to thank my wife, Agnes, in particular for always being by my side, and my parents and sister who have supported me during my 24 years as a cyclist. I’m looking forward to spend more time with them and with my son, Arton, which wasn’t always possible in the past. I’m also looking forward to what comes next and to start a new (professional) chapter. I’m extremely grateful for all the support and very excited to see what the future holds. (📷 @kramon_velophoto)
