Lance Armstrong crashed in the first stage of the Castilla y Leon race yesterday in Spain. Armstrong was transported via ambulance to the hospital where it was confirmed he did suffer a break of the right clavicle. Armstrong will return home to the States to make a decision on surgery options. “In 17 years as a pro I have been lucky to avoid one of the most common cycling injuries. The crash has put my upcoming calendar in jeopardy but the most important thing for me right now is to get back home and rest up and begin my rehab,” said Armstrong. Astana Team doctor Pedro Celaya was with Armstrong at the hospital. “Lance suffered a fracture of the middle third of the right collarbone as well as some bruises on his right hip and arm,” added Dr Celaya.____________________
It is amazing not to read anything about the awesome sport of Cyclysm in our newspapers, (or for that matter, see anything on TV), until Lance Armstrong crashes and the big 'come-back' is put in jeopardy!
All of a sudden, even the local newspapers are dedicating a 'half-size' page to this!
And I am sure ESPN is running it on their 'ticker'.
Versus??? Probably some more PBR!
