French sailor Arsène Ledertheil has withdrawn from the Golden Globe Race 2026 after spinal surgery, reducing the fleet to 23 competitors.Watch Speaking from hospital, Ledertheil explained that a slipped lumbar vertebra required stabilization by screwing it to an adjacent vertebra; the operation was performed four days before his announcement and was successful.0:08 He ruled out continuing because full recovery requires at least three months — too little time to complete his boat's refit, meet qualifier requirements, and prepare adequately for the race.1:15 He extended congratulations to race organizer Don McIntyre and the GGR staff, and said he plans to travel to Les Sables-d'Olonne to see the fleet at the start.1:42
