Bradley Wiggins is retiring after all.
Wiggins, the most decorated British Olympian with eight medals, had been placed on British Cycling’s national track team for 2017 in case he decided to continue competing as he approaches age 37.
Turns out, he won’t be using that spot.
“2016 is the end of the road for this chapter,” Wiggins said on his team’s official Facebook page.
In his last race, Wiggins won a six-day team track event with Mark Cavendish in his birthplace of Ghent, Belgium, on Nov. 20.
“This will be the last time we race together, for sure, maybe not my last, individually,” Wiggins said then.
