Dakar Spoiler : Rider witdraws

Don't know if any of you pay attention to Dakar-type racing, but Jonah Street messed his wrist up and withdrew from compitition.
It really sucks; he was doing fantastic.
If you don't know, the Dakar is like running the Baja 1000... for 15 days.
http://www.dakar.com/2009/DAK/LIVE/us/900/r7_2-depeches.html
Cut and paste below
07:15 - Bike
26 - It’s all over for Street
Having won his first special stage on a Dakar during the 5th stage, American amateur Jonah Street (KTM) has decided, as a precautionary measure, to not take starter’s orders for the 9th stage this morning, due to a very painful injury to one of his wrists.

This thread needs a spoiler alert though.
That bites though. He was doing really well considering the low level of support he had. He was riding brilliantly up to now.

Yeah, that is a bummer. I am now cheering on the dude in second that is going up aginst all the 650s + and I think he is on a 450
It is also sad that they lost a cyclist already and another guy is in a coma.
