Has Sir Chris Hoy retired at the right time?
SIR CHRIS HOY confirmed his retirement today from cycling during a media event in Edinburgh.
Hoy is Britain's most decorated Olympian, having won six Olympic gold medals and he also picked up 11 world titles too.
The 37-year-old was hoping to compete at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014, but leaves the sport on a high.
