Martin Laas Bids Farewell to Professional Racing — A Legendary Sprint Comes to a Close
After more than a decade of racing at the highest levels of world cycling, Martin Laas officially ends his professional career following the Qidong stage of the Tour of Taihu Lake. From the cobbled streets of Europe to the fierce sprints of Asia, Martin’s journey has been one defined by speed, perseverance, and an unwavering love for the sport.
A Journey That Began in Marseille
Martin’s professional path started in 2015, as a trainee with the Marseille Apple Team in France. His explosive sprinting ability soon caught attention, leading him through an impressive career with Rally Cycling (USA), BORA–Hansgrohe, Astana Qazaqstan Team, and later with Feiyu Quick Continental Team — before ultimately closing his chapter with Quick Pro Continental Team (Estonia).
A Decade of Victories and Triumphs
Across his career, Martin raced in 38 countries, earning 1,246 UCI points, 10 sprint jerseys, and 3 overall general classification victories.
He celebrated 43 stage wins, including 20 in UCI 2.1-class and above events, and climbed the podium an incredible 64 times.
In Asia, Martin became a familiar name to cycling fans — securing 26 stage victories and establishing himself as the undisputed “Sprint King of Asia.”
The Final Sprint — and a Lasting Legacy
Martin’s final race with Quick Pro Continental Team was nothing short of poetic. In Qidong, he once again showcased the fierce determination that defined his career — leading the sprint, inspiring his teammates, and finishing on his own terms: at full speed.
For Quick Pro, Martin’s presence was more than results — it was leadership, mentorship, and spirit. His professionalism and drive have inspired a new generation of riders within the Quick family.
“It’s been a beautiful journey — every sprint, every finish line, every teammate,” Martin reflected.
“I’m proud to have ended my career with Quick Pro, surrounded by riders who share the same passion that’s guided me all these years.”
Thank You, Martin
From his first start line to his final sprint, Martin Laas embodied everything that defines the Quick Pro spirit — courage, precision, and the belief that Anyone Can Race.
Thank you, Martin, for the memories, the victories, and the legacy you leave behind.
