Top sprinter Elia Viviani, 36, has confirmed that he will end his hugely successful career at the end of the season, with the Giro del Veneto on October 15 the Italian's last race on the road, followed by a final participation in a Track World Championships in Chile from October 22-26.
A day after Arnaud Démare (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) announced he was retiring – and in the same season that Caleb Ewan also quit – Viviani is the latest in a series of established top-flight sprinters who will no longer be part of the peloton in 2026.
