Text size:

The 36-year-old Viviani, an Olympic gold medallist on the track in 2016 and winner of stages on all three Grand Tours on the road, and has been racing at the elite level for 15 years.

He also previously won two world championship gold medals and eight European track titles.

In Santiago on Sunday, he took a third world title, beating New Zealand's Campbell Stewart in his career finale having announced his retirement two weeks ago.

Viviani enjoyed a peak while at the Belgian Quick-Step outfit where he won the sprint jersey at the Giro d'Italia in 2018, surging to four of his five career Giro stages.

Five-time Olympic gold medallist Harrie Lavreysen of the Netherlands won his seventh consecutive individual sprint world title on Sunday, three days after winning gold in the keirin.
