Martin Velits (born 21 February 1985 in Bratislava) is a Slovakian former road bicycle racer, who rode professionally between 2007 and 2017 for the Wiesenhof, Team Milram, HTC–Highroad and Quick-Step Floors teams.[1] His twin brother, Peter Velits, also competed as a professional cyclist.
In October 2017, one year after his brother's retirement, Martin Velits announced that he would retire after competing in that year's inaugural Tour of Guangxi.[1]
Post-cycling career
Following his retirement from professional cycling in 2017, Velits co-founded Isadore Apparel, a sustainable cycling clothing brand based in Púchov, Slovakia, together with his twin brother Peter Velits. The brand was established in 2013 while both brothers were still competing, with Martin focusing on product development during the brand's early years before dedicating himself to the company full-time after retirement. Isadore produces cycling apparel using sustainable materials including merino wool, with manufacturing based in Europe under OEKO-TEX and bluesign standards.[3] [4]
