After clinching his 11th national motorcycle racing championship last month, the Chennai racer took a short break to contemplate his future career before deciding to retire with fulfillment the overriding emotion.
"This was my last year in racing. I am retiring. I have been doing the same thing every season for so many years. Also, I am 36 now. I feel this is enough. I've done everything. I have achieved whatever there is to," said the multiple times champion.
"I am very happy to win the title (in October) after two years, which is why I feel the value of this championship. I had been continuously winning before that. I am a little tired now. It is also getting a little difficult as many young talented riders have joined in," said Jagan, who demonstrated his skill and speed one last time with a final corner overtake to clinch the Pro-stock 165cc Open category title at his favourite Madras International Circuit (MIC) one last time.
