Australia veteran Bradley McGee has decided to retire and will become a sport director at CSC-Saxo Bank in 2009. The 32-year-old joined CSC-Saxo Bank this year and was showing promising signs of regaining the fitness and motivation to recapture his place among the best in the peloton, but a crash in May’s Giro d’Italia derailed plans to race the Tour de France. He bounced back to compete in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, but fell short of a medal in the team and individual pursuits.
