Bummer for him. He'd been nursing sick dogs for a while and Bruce had mentioned that his team were "fragile", so not totally unexpected.

It's always a bummer, but it's great to know that they stop racing when necessary.
Riley Dyche also scratched, in Iditarod.
38 teams on trail.

Kaiser Racing:
"Our SUPER sponsor Ryan Air is at this hour prepping an aircraft to pickup Pete and the Team. They will be home in Bethel this afternoon."
Excellent! They can rest and recuperate.

Good plan to have an airline as a sponsor!
