Bénéteau ends career

French pro cyclist Walter Bénéteau has decided to quit the professional sport. The contract of the Bouygues Telecom rider, who raced for the various teams directed by Jean René Bernaudeau (Bonjour, Brioches La Boulangère) for the last seven years, was not extended at the end of last year, and the 34 year-old did not find another squad to take him on. Bénéteau won three races during his time as a pro.
