Pierre Rolland decided to end his career

Winner of two Tour stages, one at Alpe D'Huez (2011), and one at the Giro, in which he was fourth in 2014, the French cyclist decided to end his career in cycling following the collapse of the B&B Hotels- KTM.

The veteran, who was ranked eighth in the Tour2012 and 10th in the 2011 and 2015 editions, was one of 20 riders, including the British Mark Cavendish, who had a contract with B&B Hotels-KTM for the next season.
