On his side Maxime Cazajous was forced to retire after 8h27 of racing. “My body didn’t want to suffer any more at the 65th km and I had to resign myself to stopping. (…) Abandonment difficult to analyze and accept hot. An unexplained and ungrateful reaction from my body, even harder to understand because for months the form had been good, the preparation perfectly carried out and the market table on the race respected. In short it was a day without, I apologize to all those who believed in me today”.
