“My adventure with professional cycling ends after this season, he wrote on Instagram. Even if my decision was difficult to make, when I look back, I am extremely proud of what I have accomplished”.
At the end of this season, Van Avermaet will be at the end of his contract with the French formation AG2R-Citrôen for whom he has been driving since 2021 but with whom he has never signed a success.
In addition to Olympic gold and the Hell of the North, the Flandrien notably has two stages of the Tour de France and a stage of the Vuelta on his list.
Winner in 2017 of Paris-Roubaix, the Nieuwsblad, the E3 GP and Ghent-Wevelgem, he had occupied the head of the UCI world ranking that year.
