At the end of 2021, many runners decided to retire from competitive activity. So, dear fantamanager, get ready not to see them again on our list of possible purchases for 2022.

Do you want to know who hung up the bike? Among the big names we certainly find that of Daniel Martin , who at 35 decided to quit after winning a Liège-Bastogne-Liège , a Giro di Lombardia , and stages in all three great three-week tours. The Irishman left the Israel Start Up Nation together with Andrè Greipel , mister 39 springs, one of the strongest sprinters of the last decade with eleven stages won in the Tour de France and seven in the Giro d'Italia .

Two other riders that we will no longer see in the group are Nicolas Roche , who turned 37, and Tony Martin , 36, a long time leader of the time trials and four-time world champion. There are not only "old" runners who have stopped running. Also Jasper De Plus , at the age of 24, of Intermarchè Wanty Gobert, Mikel Alonso of Euskaltel at 25, and Moreno Hofland of Ef Education Nippo at 30, also ended his career early. There are also Italians who have said enough: among them Marco Marcato ( UAE Emirates ) at 37, Manuel Belletti ( Eolo Kometa ) at 36, Matteo Pelucchi ( Team Qhubeka Assos ) at 32, Fabio Sabatini ( Cofidis ) at 36. and Eros Capecchi ( Bahrain Victorius ) at 35. Without forgetting Fabio Aru . The Sardinian, winner of stages in the Giro e Tour and first in the Vuelta di Spagna in 2015, stopped immediately after the arrival of the last edition of the Iberian race after having turned 31.
