Serious crash at Castilla y Leon stage race. Potentially a broken collarbone...

Ouch! That sucks. He should have time for it to heal before TDF

That's unfortunate. This would have been the first race with Contodor, Leipheimer and Armstrong all racing together. It would have been great to see the dynamic unfold and see if Contodor and Armstrong actually are capable of working side by side racing on the same team during the same race. I guess it's goodbye Giro. I hope this doesn't kill his TDF chances. But hey... this guy seems to thrive on adversity and hardship so I won't count him out yet.

What doesn't kill you defines you.

Oh well...that's bike racing.
While I'm not an LA fan, I did want to see how he handled his first Giro.

I'd be happy with a broken collar bone, dammit. At least Lance will heal up before the TdF.

Don't be so easy on yourself 'cause this one might be all that you have left
