As you might have heard Lance might have broken his collar bone in a bicycle crash in Spain today. I trust that he will make a speedy recovery so that he can continue his work on behalf of cancer victims and cycling. I am amazed that Lance has been able to skirt serious injuries for so long in a sport in which crashes are so frequent. For example, Francisco Mancebo of Spain. The Rock Racing rider who won the first stage and led the race’s best climber’s competition suffered a concussion as well as a broken hand and elbow after crashing on a descent in the Amgen Tour of California. This is obviously just one out of thousands of injuries. Tyler Hamilton managed continue racing in the Tour after breaking his collar bone. Lance is mentally tough like Tyler, with a little luck he might be back in the saddle soon. What are some of your crash experiences?

I’m alive! Broken clavicle (right). Hurts like hell for now. Surgery in a couple of days. Thanks for all the well wishes.
