168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Chad Haga will bring the curtain down on his road career at the end of this season before switching his focus to gravel racing in 2024. The American made the announcement on social media on Monday🗹.
After turning pꦛrofessional with Optum in 2011, Haga gradua𝔉ted to the WorldTour in 2014, when he joined Giant-Shimano – later Sunweb and DSM. The Texan would spend eight years with the team, and he was a key part of the squad that helped Tom Dumoulin to overall victory at the 2017 Giro d’Italia.
The individual highlight of Haga’s career would 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:come at the 2019 Giro, 🌺when he won the final time trial in Verona. The Texan had won a silver medal in the team time trial with Sunweb at the previous year’s Innsbruck Worlds.
At the beginning of last season, Haga 168♒澳洲5最新开奖结果:returned to his first professional team, now known as Human Powered Health. It is not yet clear if the༒ American squad will be able to secure sponsorship for n♏ext season.
Haga, who lines out with Hu🌸man Powered Health at the Tour of Denmark this week, confirmed on Monday that he would switch to the gravel scene in 2🦂024.
“When I began this journey as a full-time bike racer in 2011, I could only dream of what I might accompཧlish. Now, so many years later, I have checked nearly all of the boxes, besides lots of boxes I couldn't have imagined back then,” Haga wrote.
“I have thoroughly enj🎉oyed the racing family🍌 of @humanpoweredhealth these last two years, and I will finish my season on the road as planned.

“Then ღit's time for me to move on to the next thing, which, as it turns out, is still racing bikes! This shouldn't surprise anybody who follows my training (and my foray into gravel racing with The Traka), but I'm taking my talents to the gravel next year!”
The 34-year-old made his gravel debut in the Traka event in Girona in May, placing 11th. He ha🤪s yet to formalise his gravel schedule for next year.
“It's early going now, so I'm still defining what that's going to look like, but I'm excited and nervous in a way I haven't been before,” Haga wrote. “I'm praying for the right doors to open as I construct this project, as they have for💖 my whole career.”
The end of the road.... When🍨 I began this journey as a full-time bike racer in 2011, I could only dream of what I might accomplish. Now, so many years later, I have checked nearly all of the boxes, besides lots of boxes I couldn't have imagined back then. 1/n
