Martinez retires…again

Miguel Martinez has retired from professional cycling for the second time. The French rider is best known for his long time duel with Cadel Evans for the Mountain Bike World Cup in the 1990s.

Martinez, known as 'little Mig', was third in the inaugural Olympic Games MTB Cross Country event in Atlanta, USA. He followed the result up with gold in Sydney, Australia in 2000 and was also the UCI World Mountain Bike Champion in the same year.
