Soon-to-retire Rigoberto Urán sets new goal of becoming a professional football player

The last time most cycling fans saw Colombian veteran Rigoberto Urán in a bike race was a sadly memorable one, when he crashed out of this year’s Vuelta a España in the first week breaking his hip. 

But if he has anything to do with it, the next time the soon-to-retire Urán (EF Education-EasyPost) is seen participating in a major sports event may be in a very different kind of competition: on the football field.
