The 2009 champion who was leading the race before the last stage had already lost the race at the half of the last stage. This morning, Radek called the veterinarians to examine one of his dogs. By decision of the vet team, the dog was dropped.

In that second part of the stage, Radek stopped a first time right after Bonneval-sur-Arc. After a few minutes, he tried to go again after he loaded a dog. But he had to stop again and decided to finally scratched to preserve his dogs health.

That's an amazing news that nobody could have imagine. Jean-Philippe Pontier is at the present time on the podium.
