The adventure as a professional rider is over for Wouter Mol. The 34-year-old Dutchman has not found a new professional team and is forced to step down to the club level.

At WV Westfrisia, he will be able to race and "also focus on his social career", his club reports.

Mol has ridden for the Continental Cycling Team De Rijke since 2015. Last season he was successful with a stage win in the Irish An Post Ras. The biggest win of his career was the overall victory in the Tour of Qatar in 2010.
