Cannondale-Garmin's Ted King announced today that he will retire from professional cycling following the 2015 season. The 32-year-old raced in the sport's biggest events, including the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, World Championships and Monuments such as Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders.
"I'll forever love this sport and consider myself grateful to have earned such an international career," King said.
After racing domestically in the US for three years with Bissell Pro Cycling, King made the leap to Europe with the Cervélo Test Team in 2009 before joining Liquigas-Cannondale in 2011. He moved to Cannondale-Garmin when the two teams merged in the off-season.

"I can picture each of these vividly," he said, "and that's something I'll value forever."
King said he was grateful to spend his last season on an American team.
