Con 77 victorias a sus espaldas la ciclista británica Helen Wyman ha decidido abandonar el ciclismo profesional. Ha sido en un comunicado a través de sus redes sociales como la 10 veces campeona de Gran Bretaña ha hecho pública su retirada ahora que termina la temporada de ciclocross con las últimas carreras internacionales. Para seguir enganchado al ciclismo con las pruebas de carretera te explicamos cómo apostar en 365.
En el comunicado Wyman ha explicado que su decisión ha sido provocada porque ya no se veía con la fuerza suficiente para competir con las mejores. "En un deporte tan competitivo no puedes lograr aquello de lo que eres capaz sin un gran deseo. si hubiera continuado siento que no me habría hecho justicia a mí misma, y no es así como quiero que se me recuerde."
En otras cosas ha recordado "que estos 15 últimos años han sido asombrosos, nunca habría imaginado realizar este viaje épico y no cambiaría nada de lo que ha ocurrido"
Wyman ha sido dos veces campeona de Europa y 2014 logró el bronce en el mundial.
