I got an email today from my friend, Dave Shields. Dave is the author of The Race, The Tour, and Tour de Life (the story of Saul Raisin’s injury and miraculous recovery). In the email, Dave relayed the news that Saul Raisin’s career as a professional cyclist has now come to an end. As Dave said in his email:

Unfortunately his comeback was partialy dependent on factors outside of his control. Each time a doctor, sponsor, or race organizer signed off on his participation they also signed on to an enormous liability should he crash or cause a crash. Unfortunately the time has come when the risks were too large for someone with a lot at stake.

For more information, in Saul’s own words, check out the Saul Raisin blog.

There is an old saying that goes, ‘whenever one door closes, another one opens.’ Having met and spoken with Saul twice, having met his amazing parents, and knowing his story, I am 100% confident that Saul will be successful no matter what door he chooses to walk through next.

God speed, Saul Raisin.
