'It's been a hard year to get a contract with so many teams uncertain about their future' – British sprinter retires with 'no regrets'

Dan McLay rides in Visma-Lease a Bike kit.

British sprinter Dan McLay has hung up his racing wheels after a largely understated but impressive 11-year career which saw him win 10 professional races and ride four editions of the Tour de France.

The 33-year-old rode for Visma-Lease a Bike this past year, but spent most of his career riding for the various guises of the French team now called Arkéa-B&B Hotels.
