Ailing Bobridge retires
Print Edition
AUSTRALIA’S triple world champion Jack Bobridge has retired from professional cycling at age 27 as he struggles to cope with rheumatoid arthritis.
The national road race champion, who also won silver medals in the team pursuit on the track at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, was diagnosed with the chronic condition in 2010 and has been managing it with medication. He left his professional team Trek Segafredo in September and said the condition had eased as he lightened his training load. “Since the (Rio) Games and backing off the training and racing load I’ve found my arthritis has been 100 percent better and I’ve been able to get off all meds as well,” he told the Adelaide Advertiser yesterday. Bobridge, who broke the world record for the 4,000 meters individual pursuit in 2011 and won four Commonwealth Games golds on the track, said riding major tours on the road in Europe this year had confirmed his decision to retire.
