Gerrans to retire

Simon Gerrans, who won two stages of the Tour de France and is the only Australian to have won two of cycling鈥檚 one-day classics, has announced he will retire at the end of the 2018 season. Gerrans is one of only seven Australians to have worn the leader鈥檚 yellow jersey in the Tour de France. He also won stages of the Giro d鈥橧talia and the Spanish Vuelta and won the Milan-San Remo and Liege-Bastogne-Liege races which are among cycling鈥檚 five one-day classics, which are collectively known as the Monuments. In an open letter published yesterday on the website of his BMW Racing Team, Gerrans said he was ready to change careers. 鈥淎lthough I feel that I am still performing at a good level physically, my passion for the sport is not what it used to be,鈥 the 38-year-old said.
