"I think it's the right time to leave for a new life," added the women's individual time trial star.

Wong was the first local female cyclist to win a World Cup title, in 2008. At last year's Asian Games, she won a bronze medal, as well as a silver in Guangzhou five years ago, where she suffered a crash but still managed a podium finish.
