After more than 20 years of mountain bike racing, the Grisons native put an end to his career. "The decision to end my career was not an easy one. I will miss the whole thing, the mountain bike scene. But the decision became apparent over the last few years. At 34, I've reached an age where you start to think about what will happen after the sport. What's more, I haven't achieved the sporting results I had in mind recently. And finally, I found a new full-time job, which made my decision easier: I will be able to work as a Product Manager at Chrissports in Münchwilen from 2017. This will no longer allow me to pursue top-class sport as I would like. And I don't want to make any more compromises in this regard," explains Gujan in a press release.

However, his racing career is not quite over yet: "I can look back on a great time on the cross-country circuit. But I'm also looking forward to the new time without the hardships that have been part of it in recent years. From September 12, I will be riding the Swiss Epic, a stage race in Valais. This event will be my farewell tour from mountain bike racing, so to speak." Gujan rode in a total of nine teams from 1995 to 2016, his greatest successes being the two European Championship silver medals and various top ten places in the World Cup, with an outstanding sixth place in Bromont and a seventh place in Mont Saint Anne. Gujan won the Swiss Cup overall ranking twice.

However, Martin Gujan will remain involved in mountain biking. Together with Florian Vogel, Gujan will enter the world of professional mountain bike coaching and pass on his experience.
