Nicolas Petit has been racing pretty exceptionally in the 2014 Iditarod from Alaska. Nicolas stayed in 2nd pretty consistently to the afternoon of Tuesday. Nicolas was in front of Martin Buser most of that time. But then in the evening of Tuesday he dropped to 4th place. On Wednesday (3/5/2014) he went down again to 6th place. Nicolas is now at the checkpoint Ophir. Petit has not taken his 24 hour nor his 8 hour brake. Nicolas has 16 dogs left, Wednesday 5, 2014.
