Photo! Here is a picture of Lance Armstrong who broke his collarbone in Spain. Lance Armstrong’s comeback tour suffered a major setback after he fractured a broken collarbone on Monday, March 23. Armstrong fell from his bike during a pileup in the first stage of the Vuelta of Castilla and Leon race while competing for Astana team. The seven-time Tour de France champion, 37, was treated in the hospital in Valladolid. But he said he will directly fly bacl to US and meet with medical experts to decide whether he needs surgery, according to AP.
“We’ll go from there,” he said. “I think for the Tour [de France] it’s a very big problem.”
“The collarbone is broken, and I have a little bit of road-rash abrasions,” Armstrong said as he left Valladolid University Hospital. “I’ve never had this happen before; it’s pretty painful. I feel really miserable.”
Wish Lance Armstrong a speedy recover! Sure, his pregnant girlfriend Anna Hansen will give him a lot of encouragement.
