Suspended by the UCI, Franck Bonnamour retires from sport

Since then the rider, super combative in the 2021 Tour de France under the colors of B & B Hôtels-KTM, had made his defense his priority. On Thursday, he declared that he accepted the sanction and gave up pursuing the idea of ​​a career in the peloton: “It's too costly in financial terms, I'm stopping. I can't afford to lose everything and it's financially blocking. It's been difficult for six months, I didn't want it to last two years, three years like that. » The rider, whose last appearance in the peloton dates back to the Tour Down Under in January, also declared: “Morally, there are difficult times. I'm afraid of the future. I know what I did, what I didn't do. »
