I thought there's a difference in how age effects types of muscle development/power and endurance though and that's why sprinters have a comparatively shorter shelf life.
That said, Petacchi/Greipel still snuck stages at older ages than him.
I think he'll have another crack next year then call it a day if he is well prepared and in good form but finds he can't compete.

Cav is 33, same age as Froome and no one's talking about him retiring. He's had a bad year with crashes but he'll be back.
