WorldTour rider Hugo Toumire has announced his retirement from professional cycling at the age of 24.

The Frenchman joined Cofidis as a trainee in 2021, and spent four seasons with the squad at cycling’s highest level, racing the Giro d’Italia in 2023.

In recent years, however, he has struggled for form, and this September underwent surgery to treat iliac artery endofibrosis , a condition that restricts blood flow to the legs. You may like
