Paolo Longo Borghini has decided to leave professional cycling. The 34-year-old now former Cannondale Pro Cycling rider, brother of Elisa Longo Borghini, announced his decision during a ceremony organized to celebrate the two samples of Ornavasso, his city.

His adventure in professional cycling, which began in 2004 with the Vini Caldirola and continued with Barloworld, Flaminia, ISD and Liquigas, lasted eleven seasons, in which he had the opportunity to race alongside great champions like Ivan Basso, Vincenzo Nibali and Peter Sagan, in addition to have the satisfaction of winning the GP Nobili Rubinetterie in 2006.
