At the start of his 18th season as a professional, Jens Voigt does not know yet if it will really be his last. The oldest rider in the WorldTour peloton, known for his determination and his spirit, explains that it is primarily a matter of mind, to say that now that the last season would be likely to make him relax too.
"For me it is difficult to say definitively that I will stop - he told Velochrono - I'm afraid to say that I will stop at the end of the season. Afraid to tell me, in my head, that I do not need to train or to be competitive to get a new contract. If think so, the season will be much more relaxed, but I don’t want that. So, I do not know if it will be my last season. "
Aware that he “will have to end one day " and "can not continue forever," the Trek rider shows, however, that he is satisfied with his career "with some small successes." A person who thinks "more with the heart than with the mind" and, noting that over the past year has " changed my mind ten times a day “, also depending on the sensations of the moment, but the experienced German rider will still need" time to think " about it, thinking "if you sign a contract as a rider, as sporting director or some work with the sponsors." But currently, it is still too early to think about it.
