David Tanner n’a plus couru depuis le mois de mai et le Tour de Belgique. L’Australien r\u00e9v\u00e8le en fait que c’est en mai que sa carri\u00e8re de coureur cycliste s’est arr\u00eat\u00e9e. \u00ab\u00a0C’\u00e9tait ma d\u00e9cision la plus difficile car le cyclisme a \u00e9t\u00e9 ma vie pendant 25 ans mais mon retour m’a fait r\u00e9alis\u00e9 qu’il y avait des r\u00e9percussions au fait d’avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 renvers\u00e9 par une voiture en 2016 qui m’emp\u00eachent de revenir au haut niveau<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0.<\/p>\n

En 2016, alors qu’il \u00e9voluait chez IAM Cycling, Tanner a effectivement \u00e9t\u00e9 victime d’un accident extr\u00eamement grave o\u00f9 il a notamment eu un poumon perfor\u00e9, six vert\u00e8bres cass\u00e9es, des c\u00f4tes cass\u00e9es, une \u00e9paule et une omoplate en morceaux… Il avait pu revenir gr\u00e2ce au soutien de son ancien co\u00e9quipier Nick Nuyens, aujourd’hui manageur de V\u00e9randas Willems – Crelan, qui l’a embauch\u00e9 l’ann\u00e9e suivante et prolong\u00e9 en 2018 bien que l’Australien n’ait jamais couru en 2017.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s with some regret that I decided to stop my career as professional cyclist earlier this year in May. It was the hardest decision as cycling has been my life for 25 years but I realised in my comeback that there were repercussions from being hit by a car in 2016 would prevent me for reaching a good level again! I\u2019m grateful for everything the bike has given me over the years, I\u2019ve made some amazing friends and meet incredible people! I want to thank everyone who has been apart of the ride and had helped me get to where I was and are now, especially my parents and family and mentor\/best mate\/brother @baden_cooke Also a huge thank you to Nick Noyens and his team @snipercycling for giving me the chance to try and finish my career! I\u2019m on to the next phase of my life now and doing the mba program at the international university of monaco and looking forward to what the future brings me!<\/a><\/p>\n
