Sergio Henao conceded that his professional cycling career is over after he was unable to find a WorldTour contract for 2022 in the wake of the demise of the Qhubeka-NextHash team in December.

The Colombian joined Qhubeka last year after two seasons at UAE Team Emirates and seven in the colours of Team Sky. The biggest victory of his career came when he won Paris-Nice in 2017, and he confirmed his retirement from the sport five years on from that triumph.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
