Lance Armstrong has broken his collarbone after taking a tumble in an event in Spain on Monday. He fell along with some other riders while competing in the first stage of the Tour of Castilla y Leon in Central Spain.

Armstrong was taken to hospital after the fall where he underwent an x-ray which revealed he had suffered a break in the middle of his right collarbone.

The cycling legend in now in doubt for the Giro d’Italia in May and also this will obviously hamper preparations for the Tour de France later this year.

Armstrong will head back to the US to recover from the accident. It is the first such injury for Armstrong.
