Riding in the first stage of the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon, a five-day race in the countryside north of Madrid, Spain, Lance Armstrong was just 12.5 miles away from the finish line when he was involved in a crash on a rough, narrow country road. Armstrong landed hard and cradled his right arm before an ambulance took him to a local hospital.
According to x-rays, Armstrong fractured his middle third right collarbone; he also suffered bruising on his hip and arm. Armstrong will have surgery on his broken collarbone and is not sure if he will be able to ride in this year’s Tour de France.
Armstrong plans to fly back to the United States on Tuesday. The surgery will “most likely” take place in Austin, Texas, where the 37-year old cyclist has resided for many years.
Armstrong said in an email, “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.”
Will Lance Armstrong get better in time for the upcoming Tour de France? Only time will tell.

I do consider all of the concepts you have introduced in your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for novices. Could you please prolong them a little from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I was just looking for this information for a while. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your site. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative web sites in top of the list. Normally the top websites are full of garbage.
Thanks for your write-up on the vacation industry. I’d also like to include that if you are one senior considering traveling, it can be absolutely crucial to buy travel cover for older persons. When traveling, older persons are at high risk of getting a health-related emergency. Receiving the right insurance cover package for one’s age group can look after your health and provide peace of mind.
