Brice Roger announces the definitive stop for this season: "Too much pain, I will not return"

The French sprinter, who had injured himself in Bormio, still has problems with his left knee and ends the year without participating in the races of Hinterstoder, Kvitfjell and the finals of Cortina. At home France successfully operated Adrien Theaux.

Even Brice Roger has to say goodbye to the company, without the possibility of ending a season that had already started very well for the transalpine sprinter. The 29 year old from La Plagne, seventh in the first descent of Bormio, had been injured in the second appointment on the "Stelvio", but the contusion with spillage to his left knee did not seem to be so serious. Back on skis as early as mid January, however, Roger continued to feel pain and, after skipping the classics of Wengen, Kitz and Garmisch, in addition to the last two fast races in Saalbach, today he announced that he will not take part in the last appointments between downhill and super-g, or Hinterstoder, Kvitfjell and the finals of Cortina.
