Luke Rowe: Ineos Grenadier rider to retire at end of the year

Luke Rowe is to retire from professional cycling a year early at the end of the 2024 season, following his latest injury.

The 34-year-old Welsh rider had a contract until the end of 2025 but has confirmed this will be his final season in the men’s World Tour peloton.

Rowe has been with Ineos Grenadiers, formerly Team Sky, for the past 12 years and has established himself as one of the leading super-domestiques in cycling.

As well as winning stages in the Classics, he has ridden in eight successive Tour de France races, helping Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas and Egan Bernal to victory.

“I’ve had an amazing career and I have absolutely no regrets,” he said.

“But the last 18 months have been testing in different ways and with this latest crash and resulting injury, it just feels like now is the right time to bow out, head home to Wales and spend a bit more time with my family.

“I’ve got so many amazing memories and have loved every part of being a professional cyclist.

“I’ve been incredibly lucky to spend all 13 years as a pro bike rider with one team, and it’s been a team who has supported me 100% through the good times and the bad.”
