While some riders prepare to announce their new team for 2026 or are busy negotiating new contracts and chasing spots in the peloton, highly respected Belgian domestique Tim Declercq has announced he will retire at the end of the season.
37-year-old Declercq is affectionately nicknamed 'El Tractor' for his ability to ride long and hard on the front of the peloton to close down breakaways and set up his team's sprinter.
