AG2R Citroen Team rider Greg Van Avermaet has announced his retirement at the end of 2023: “A great adventure is ending and I am a little sad. This decision was very difficult to make, but when I look back I am extremely proud of my achievements.”

“I gave my best every day, simply to have no regrets. I not only enjoyed my victories, but also the path that led me to win,” Van Avermaet explained. “I thank everyone who believed in me and helped me throughout my career. I am grateful to my fans who have always supported me, even in difficult times.”

“The time has come to dedicate myself to my wife and children, and to give a new direction to my life. I hope to regain the same passion in this new phase. I would like to thank the team for the trust and team spirit in which I have been involved for the past three seasons. Until the end of the season I will give my best to the team as I have done since the day I started cycling. I hope to achieve good results.”
