Why Magnus Cort Is Retiring At 33 - Domestique Hotseat Podcast

Magnus Cort is retiring at the end of 2026, and he tells Aidan Burgess exactly why. He is still winning, he became Danish champion for the first time this year, and that is the point. He does not want to squeeze everything out and finish the sport struggling at the back.He also confirms his selection for the Vuelta a España, the Grand Tour he likes best and the one where his career started with two stage wins. He talks through where his chances are, why Mads Pedersen and Wout van Aert worry him more than Tadej Pogačar, and how a team of only Danes and Norwegians keeps punching above its budget.And he is honest about what comes next. There is no job lined up, only a winter in Andorra, and a rider who says he almost does not know who he is outside of cycling. There is also the moustache, the worst hotel in the Tour de France, and one very firm opinion about ankle socks.
