Jakub Mareczko’s cycling career has come to an end. The sprinter announced his retirement at the age of 31. Mareczko made this decision after eleven seasons—during which he rode for well-known teams such as CCC and Alpecin-Deceuninck—and exactly fifty professional victories.
"It’s time to stop," the retiring Mareczko shared on Instagram. "After years of dreams, sacrifices, and intense emotions, I am closing an incredible chapter in my life. I had the privilege to race alongside the best riders, learn from them, and experience cycling at the highest level. I carry with me every climb, victory, and disappointment."
"Thanks to the people who believed in me and accompanied me on this journey: teams, teammates, fans... And a special thank you to my family, who have always supported me. My racing ends here, but the passion for cycling will never fade."

The former rider of Wilier Triestina-Selle Italia, CCC, Alpecin-Deceuninck, and Team Corratec achieved fifty professional wins during his career. He secured most of his victories on Asian soil. He won an impressive eighteen stages in the Tour of Taihu Lake and also scored stage successes in the Tour of Hainan, Tour de Langkawi, and the Tour of Qinghai Lake.
Mareczko also enjoyed success in the past at the Tour of Turkey and notched several wins in Europe, including stage victories at the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali, Tour of Hungary, and the ZLM Tour.

Mareczko rode last season for the continental Polish team Mazowsze Serce Polski. His season start was promising, with a stage win in the Tour of Mersin (2.2), but afterwards Mareczko only raced eleven more days. In his final race—the Course Cycliste de Solidarnosc et des Champions Olympiques—the rider representing Poland since this year had to abandon.
