From CNN.com

(CNN) -- American cyclist Lance Armstrong, the only man to win the Tour de France seven times, crashed on the first stage of a five-day race in Spain on Monday and was taken to a hospital by ambulance.
Armstrong reportedly fell around 20 kilometers from the finish and was seen pointing to his collarbone, CNN's Al Goodman reported from northern Spain.
Organizers said Armstrong was taken to hospital and had withdrawn from the race.

Geez not a good start to his coming out of retirement...

He wouldn't have hurt himself so bad if he was on water....

No doubt. They really fly on those bikes though, and when they crash it is pretty spectacular. Here is a compilation on youtube of some tour bike crashes..

Collar bone....

I saw on MSNBC that he broke his collar bone. The guy is like ancient now, isn't he? I didn't even know who he was till he was datin Cheryl Crow!.....:rofl:

Not into bike racing too much but he has become a household name. If not for his 7 World Championships or his dating habits, he's done what most bike racers only dream about.......:cheers:
