Michael Rogers: “It’s been a fun ride”

    
25th Apr 2016 - Michael Rogers has always been a key figure in the peloton and within the Tinkoff team with his intelligence, many years of experience and strong capacity as a stage racer. As a three-time World Time-Trial Champion and winner of several one-week stage races such as the Tour of California, it’s safe to say that Michael has been a crucial part of the team's stage race and Grand Tour ambitions both as a leader and capitaine de route. In addition, Michael’s calm and kind spirit makes him an ideal teammate and a go-to-guy for the younger riders on the team.

Michael turned professional in 2001 and has ridden for Mapei–Quickstep, T-Mobile, HTC and Team Sky before making the move to Tinkoff-Saxo ahead of the 2013 season. After joining the team he quickly evolved into a trusted leader offering vital support in many races, including the 2013 Tour de France where he rode in support of Alberto Contador and in the 2014 Liège-Bastogne-Liège, his first race in six months, where he was seen riding in front of the peloton on the steep Walloon hills at the service of Roman Kreuziger for the majority of the race!

The 2014 season proved to be an immensely successful one for Michael. He won two stages at the Giro d’Italia including the queen stage finishing on top of Monte Zoncolan, which shaped the team’s performances in the Italian Grand Tour. Michael was back in action soon after at the Tour de France, where he was once again one of the driving forces behind the team’s success. After team captain Alberto Contador crashed and was forced to abandon the race on stage 10, Michael helped revive the team’s Tour, as he took a beautiful solo stage win in the Pyrenees.

Michael was an essential part of the team in 2015 once again taking on the role of road captain with the responsibility of guiding the younger riders, supporting the GC leaders and targeting results of his own.

Unfortunately, today, Michael announces his retirement from racing after a fun ride that lasted 16 years. The entire Tinkoff team would like to thank him for his contribution over the years. His kindness, team spirit and loyalty will be missed.

Thanks Mick!
