Quarterman calls time at 25

Charlie Quarterman, one of the breakaway stars of this year’s Giro d’Italia, is set to retire from professional cycling at the end of the current season in part due to the stress of the sport’s contract uncertainty.

Quarterman signed for Corratec-Selle Italia at the start of the season, which will now be the final part of his journey as a professional cyclist. Prior to joining the Italian ProTeam, Quarterman also spent three years at World-Tour giants TrekSegafredo (now Lidl-Trek).

Speaking to Cycling Weekly, the 25-year-old from Oxford announced that he would call time on his career after the upcoming Italian autumn Classics.

“There’s not really a headline reason why,” Quarterman said when asked why he has made the decision to step away from the sport.

“It’s not one particular health issue, it’s not a complete loss of love for cycling, it’s kind of a whole load of things that have been weighing me down since I left Trek when I did but I’m in a good place now, I’m happy to stop, and it’s on my terms.”
