Lance went down and at hospital. Just breaking on CNN. Anyone know what happened?
VISALIA, Calif. – Lance Armstrong is going to the hospital for X-rays after crashing during the Tour of California.
Armstrong’s longtime coach Johan Bruyneel tweeted Thursday that Armstrong was involved in a “huge” crash and “had to abandon and is going to the hospital for Xrays.”
The cyclists were on a two-lane road outside Visalia a few miles into the race when a rider in the main group skidded on some gravel and fell, causing others, including Armstrong, to crash.
Afterward, Armstrong sat on the ground with his legs spread out, his elbows on his knees and his hands on his face. His left cheek was bloodied in the wreck, and his left eye appeared swollen.
The crash came on a tumultuous day when Armstrong responded to Floyd Landis’ accusations of doping during his career. Armstrong strongly denied the accusations
OMG You mean Lance crashed and is out of the ToC?
.
I think some dopers won. And some dopers didn’t finish. And a whole bunch of dopers finished between the two.
I think Lance may have been a little distracted behind the wheel today…
Bummer. there goes the big TT showdown against Lieto… I think he took himself down to avoid being beaten.
Distracted by the Landis accusations or rehearsing his explanation how a 30-something English woman beat him in Saturday’s time trial.
just some stitches, no season-ending stuff
