Gabriel Rasch completed his last race today, nice to bow out in the Roubaix velodrome

That should be the default career end for every northern classics rider!

Hard as nails domestique, he had a very good career considering his useful skills that he put to good use over the years. He made a late jump to the WT, probably because of Hushovd, but he proved his worth countless times. All the best for him, even as a Sky DS I hope he had a 'Merci Roubaix' shirt today

Nuyens retires after not finding any place to ride. It is a shame that he crashed in P-N 2012 and he was not able to do anything afterwards.
