Lance Armstrong broke his collarbone in a crash Monday during a race in Spain, leaving his participation in the Tour de France in question.
Armstrong plans to have surgery in the next few days after flying back to the United States to meet with doctors. On Twitter, Armstrong said, "I'm alive! Broken clavicle (right). Hurts like hell for now. Surgery in a couple of days. Thanks for all the well wishes."
The seven-time Tour de France champion fell in a pile-up about 12.5 miles from the finish line, and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
The 37-year-old Armstrong is scheduled to ride in the Giro d'Italia in early May and the Tour de Frace in July.
"The crash has put my upcoming calendar in jeopardy, but the most important thing for me right now is to get back home and rest up and begin my rehab," Armstrong told the Associated Press.

Your epicaricacy is an embarrassment.
i prefer to think of it as schadenfreude - and yes i am - but with a good conscience. Do I like to see numbnut(s) fail? You bet!
