Wong Kam-po bows out of cycling after two decades at the top

Veteran Wong Kam-po said he has no regrets about calling time on his 20-year-plus cycling career, as he finished his last competitive race in the Tour of Taihu in Jiangsu yesterday.

Wong, who will turn 40 in March, said he had gained much more than he had lost as a professional rider.

"I have little to complain about," said Wong. "I had the support of a lot people for so many years so I could achieve a lot of good results. I have also learned a lot through the sport. Absolutely, I have no regrets. In fact, Hong Kong already has a strong contingent of up-and-comers to take up the baton.

"I still need to consult my coach over my future and will take a long holiday before deciding my next step."
