Forced to abandon Paris-Nice on Thursday evening at the end of the fifth stage, Maxime Bouet now knows the illness from which he has suffered since a fall that occurred last Sunday. The Bugiste d’Arkéa-Samsic suffers from a fracture of a sacral vertebra, at the level of the sacrum, as well as a bone contusion of several vertebrae. The road captain of the Breton formation does not know the duration of his unavailability.

“I can not contract my buttocks, with each push, I suffer, he explained during the week while he continued the race in the sun despite the pain. It’s a catastrophe. When I’m a dancer, it hurts a little less, but I can’t do any revival, not put on watts, smooth all my efforts. And on a race with this level, you cannot exist… ”
This is another blow for Bouet, who had to withdraw in particular at the last minute for the last Tour de France due to an injury to a left knee.
