Jens Keukeleire retires as one of the most liked and respected riders in the peloton. Over the course of his 14-year career, the Belgian all-rounder won eleven races, including a Vuelta stage and twice the GC at the Tour of Belgium. His latest employer, the
EF Education-EasyPost, caught up with the 34-year-old for a lengthy interview.
"For the moment it still feels like an off-season. This time, it is just going to be for a little bit longer. I’m just enjoying being able to do stuff that I am not able to do during the season, just being at home, enjoying being at home. That is how it feels for the moment. Actually, usually when I had my offseason I would try not to exercise, not to do any sports, and that is something a little bit different now. I did half a marathon last Sunday."
