The end of the road.... When I began this journey as a full-time bike racer in 2011, I could only dream of what I might accomplish. Now, so many years later, I have checked nearly all of the boxes, besides lots of boxes I couldn't have imagined back then. 1/n

Giro d'Italia 2019 stage winner Chad Haga echoed through his social media on Monday that he'll be retiring from road cycling at the end of the year. The 34-year old American however confirmed that he won't stop competing on the bike as he will shift to gravel in upcoming years.
"The end of the road.... When I began this journey as a full-time bike racer in 2011, I could only dream of what I might accomplish. Now, so many years later, I have checked nearly all of the boxes, besides lots of boxes I couldn't have imagined back then."
"This sport has given me so many experiences-on and off the bike-that will continue to shape me for the years to come. I have thoroughly enjoyed the racing family of Human Powered Health these last two years, and I will finish my season on the road as planned."
"Then it's time for me to move on to the next thing, which, as it turns out, is still racing bikes! This shouldn't surprise anybody who follows my training (and my foray into gravel racing with The Traka), but I'm taking my talents to the gravel next year!"
