ITALIAN sprinter Alessandro Petacchi has ended his 18-year professional cycling career during which he claimed 48 stage wins in the grand Tours. "I feel that it is time to take some time for myself and try to find some new challenges," the 39-year-old Petacchi said in a Lampre-Merida team statement yesterday. "I gave my best, as I always did in the 18 seasons as a professional rider". Petacchi, who turned professional in 1996, won six stages in the Tour de France, 22 in the Giro d'Italia and 20 in the Tour of Spain in his career.
