"I felt I was ready; the old cliché of "you know when you're ready" was true for me! This year was my 16th year racing as a professional and I decided I was content and ready for life after racing. I don't have any plans to keep racing but who knows, I might find it fun to race the odd criterium and some track," said Kiesanowski, who started racing at 16 years old.
Kiesanowski had a successful career that included representing New Zealand in three Olympic Games, 14 World Championships, three Commonwealth Games and won eight national titles in road and track disciplines.
On the road, she was second overall at the Tour de Bretagne, eighth at the 2008 World Championships, 3rd at White Spot Delta Road Race and second in GP Gatineau, all UCI events.
