After 18 years of dedicating himself to the cycling , Heinrich Haussler has decided to call it quits and retire from the sport. Throughout his illustrious career, he has secured 22 impressive wins, with two of them being highly coveted Grand Tour stage victories at the Tour de France and Vuelta Espana.
“I started my career in 2005, and I’ve been a pro for 18 years and I’m now 39 years of age. I Started cycling at 6 and moved to Germany when I was 14 with that dream of becoming a professional cyclist,” he said on his team’s website.
He continues, “If I look back now, there are tears of joy along with a sadness that I have to stop, but I’m happy and in the last 4-5 years at my age, I think I’ve got the most out of the sport and helped share my experience with the boys.”
Haussler is not walking away from the sport entirely. Instead, he has decided to transition into a new role as Sports Director, where he can offer guidance and support to younger riders as they strive to achieve their goals. “I want to stay in this sport, and I want to become a Sports Director which is something I’ve been planning for in the last 3-4 years and at the end of every year I had to decide if I wanted to move to the car or keep riding, and my passion for the sport always kept me out there,” concluded Haussler.
