After six seasons riding with Euskaltel - Euskadi, 31-year-old Peio Goikoetxea will retire from professional cycling to work in a behind the scenes role for the women's team Laboral Kutxa.

The Spanish-based team are growing within women's cycling and are working towards their ultimate aim of taking a permanent place in the Women's World Tour.
