Bonnet hoping to return to the 2016 Tour
FDJ’s William Bonnet is hoping to return to racing in time to compete at next year’s Tour de France. Bonnet was involved in a serious accident during stage 3 of this year’s Tour de France, which left him wearing a neck brace after fracturing his second vertebra. He’s not been able to race since but was offered a contract extension to ensure his place in the team for 2016.
“I would like to return to competition, but since the final stage of the Tour de France starts in Chantilly, close to home, it would be nice to be there,” Bonnet said on the team’s website. “We must act step by step. I do not know how I will go back into the peloton, I cannot guess what will be my place and if I will have any apprehensions when we have to brake hard. Today, I really want to say that there will be no problem but in reality I do not know.”

Bonnet confirmed, however, that he would not be helping his teammate Arnaud Démare at the Classics, as the risk of crash is too high. He will also have to miss the team’s training camp at the end of November but is expected to return to training at the beginning of December.
