Bahrain Victorious announced veteran rider Heinrich Haussler would not return to racing in the seventh and final year of his contract with the team this year, but instead transitioned to a sports director position.
The team issued a statement two days before Paris-Roubaix to report that the 39-year-old Haussler, who was yet to make a start for the team this season, had cardiac screenings by specialists in Germany and Italy in recent weeks as a result of changes found from a routine screening in December.
