The decision, which Norrtelje Tidning was the first to report, comes after a turbulent 2024 in which he tested positive for doping and was suspended.

He was later acquitted, but had the rest of the season ruined.

Lindbäck lost hundreds of thousands of kronor due to the suspension, writes Norrtelje Tidning and refers to Ola Lindbäck, father and financially responsible in the team.

It has been uncertain whether Antonio Lindbäck would continue his career, and now the decision has been made.

I've been thinking about it for a long time, in the end it feels completely right. I want to be involved and be able to help the team and be a mentor and participate in that way. Sitting on the bike and riding myself, that's for others to do now, says Lindbäck.

Antonio Lindbäck has won three World Championship events in his career.
