Bauke Mollema considers retirement as he nears 40

Professional cyclist Bauke Mollema, who has competed at the highest level for 19 years, is approaching his fortieth birthday and considering retirement. Mollema, a resident of Monaco since late 2013, lives on the Rocher near the Prince's Palace.

Mollema expressed a desire to maintain distance from the heavy tourism and social media activity that characterizes Monaco during certain periods, preferring the quieter areas of the principality where his children attend school.
