Who is Éric Berthou?
Éric Berthou is a French professional road bicycle racer. Berthou started his career with Barloworld in 2003 before joining the French R.A.G.T. Semences-MG Rover team the following season, where he won a stage of Paris–Corrèze in 2004. When R.A.G.T. Semences closed at the end of 2005, Berthou joined the Spanish ProTour squad Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears.
In the spring of 2012, Berthou was in a solo breakaway in the Tro Bro Leon and observers thought he was in a good position to win until he faltered with fatigue during the last 10 kilometers, allowing Canadian Ryan Roth to take the victory. Berthou finished 12th in that race, with the main chase group, 37 seconds behind the winner.
Berthou will retire at the end of the 2013 season, after eleven years as a professional, and will join the management team at his final professional outfit Team Raleigh.
