Jarno Mobach was forced to end his cycling career. The 25-year-old Dutchman, who was under contract with VolkerWessels this season, is suffering from cardiac arrhythmia. In 2016, Mobach won Paris-Roubaix for juniors.
"It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that I have to stop cycling due to cardiac arrhythmias," Mobach writes on social media. "Thank you to everyone who has helped me live my dream over all these years."
From 2017 to 2020, Mobach rode for the training team of Team Sunweb, a predecessor of Team DSM-Firmenich. In his debut season for the team, he won a stage in the Olympia's Tour. After a few down years, he switched to Leopard in 2021. He rode for two years for this Luxembourgish formation.
For the current season he joined Dutch formation VolkerWessels, but he has not worn his shirt number since April. He has undergone tests in recent months which showed that he has cardiac arrhythmias.

- I never considered him arrogant. He was outspoken at times and angry at other times. He's a professional athlete, sometimes they are emotional.awp03-12-2024

- Didn't those ex sponsors cheat through Armstrong? Do you think that most of them didn't know that it's impossible to make 500 watts up a mountain for an hour? Armstrong was a cyclist, I agree he did a lot of bad things but everyone should have a chance at redemption.awp03-12-2024
- And suspicion isn’t proof, not that you need proof to ban anyone from sport. Most ordinary* people have no idea what it’s like having to defend yourself to prove your innocence which is the threshold in doping. They live their comfortable little lives with its little immoral sideshows in a bubble of « bliss « never attracting scrutiny as the presumption of innocence makes them unworthy of investigation. Imagine you would get accused of theft or fraud or violence or tax evasion or you name it but the onus was on you to PROVE it wasn’t you, AND you had to pay for it all out of your own pocket (which incidentally means if the accuser is the state/country there is a conflict of interest as they gather taxes on your costs) knowing that even if you manage to prove your innocence you will likely get nothing or only a portion (of the costd, never mind repairs to other damage such as reputation, career, family & connections ) back, Whatever happened to civilizing society? I reckon it’s like fossil fuels (you get to a peak and it’s only downhill from then on) only 10-20 years in advance.Mistermaumau03-12-2024

- Armstrong did test positive. Also his urine tested positive on pre epo test when they went back and retested. I'm still waiting to hear about those Wiggins charges though...awp03-12-2024
