No kidding KC .
I rather break nothing ;-)

Dear Lance Armstrong fans. He says he is feeling better today.
If you haven't already read about his crash, here's a little something for you.

Lance Armstrong crashed during the first stage of Spain's Vuelta Castilla y Leon Monday. He was taken to a hospital, where it was confirmed that broke his right collarbone.

Armstrong  was involved in a pile-up with other riders on the 168.3-km course between Paredes de Nava and Baltanas. 

Armstrong hadn't raced in Spain for five years.

The crash has put his upcoming race participation in jeopardy. He's scheduled to race in the Giro d'Italia May 9 through May 31 and the Tour de France July 4 through July 26.

Post Crash Questions with Lance Armstrong

How did the crash happen?
"At the end of the race, people started to get a bit excited to win the race. Everybody wanted to be in the front and  couple of guys crashed in front of me, crossed the wheels and I hit them over the top. It happens quick when it happens. It could have been worse, I suppose. I have road rash abrasions on right hip and arm but the big problem is the broken collarbone. I never had this before. It is pretty painful. Now we must have to see how it heals. I will go back to the US and there we will decide on surgery."

You must be very disappointed. Is the Giro participation in jeopardy?
"I am very disappointed. Very. Especially for the Giro. Now the biggest problem is the pain. It hurts. We will see. The guys in the hospital in Valladolid were great and very nice and helpful. But now I feel miserable. I need to relax a couple of days, fix the problem and make a plan. I hope I can tell you more about the Giro in a week."

You almost never crash.
"I was thinking the same thing in the hospital that this never happened in my 17 years of pro cycling. That's cycling. It's nobody's fault. Crashes happen all the time. It is part of the job."

As soon as I passed these gratings safely, I turned my head to the front, by which time my front wheel was already rolling into the next metal grating which is approx 3-4metres from the second grating of the first two.

At a speed of 10kph, I literally dived and crash-landed onto the tarmac. My right eye was protected by my trusted shades. My right upper lip was sliced up to the area just below my nose, with a minor cut on lower lip. My fractured teeth and badly bashed gums sound something like this - one upper tooth broken, two lower teeth chipped, and three other front teeth re-arranged. Not a very pretty sight.
