‘I didn’t nearly die two years ago just to spend my days on this planet feeling unhappy’ – ex-Irish champion Imogen Cotter announces retirement
‘I make this announcement with happiness and peace in my heart’
Imogen Cotter won the Irish national road race championships in 2021 before signing her first professional contract.
Former Irish national champion Imogen Cotter has announced her retirement from cycling after a two-year battle with the mental and physical scars caused by a horrific collision in Spain.
The 30-year-old cyclist from Clare was hit head-on by a van driver during a training ride near Girona in 2022, derailing her career after just signing her first fully professional contract with new team Plantur-Pura.
