Alexandre Vinokourov junior, one of the sons of the Kazakh champion, has announced his farewell to cycling at just 23 years old: "Seven months after my training accident, I came back: I trained, I raced, I faced pain and fear.No one forced me to do it, but I wanted to return to prove to myself that I wouldn't give up so easily. I wanted to conclude well, give everything for the team one last time 🫡 When these things happen, you start thinking differently and see what's best for your future... even though it hurts deep down, believe me.I'm lucky and proud to have completed my last race as a rider, the Tour de Langkawi, and to have helped the team win 4 victories 🥇 and a fourth place in the general classification. 🇲🇾 Thanks to all the people who were present in this chapter of my life and see you soon at the next one ❤️🙏".
