On cyclinengews.com they estimated it would take 4-6 weeks for Lance to recover. This probably eliminates Lance's Giro chances. This may also effectively end his TDF chances as well. Lance will win the Tour. Stop acting like an idiot. Magilla |

This begs the question of how planned was this? Would you knock up your honey nine months before a major race you planned to win? Probably Armstrong hoped to pass the finish line with a dummy teat in his mouth. Benjo If Lance ever wears a ****ing pacifier in his mouth on the podium or when crossing the finish line - or a "binky" as faggots call it - I will never post in here again. Magilla |

He'd take a week off riding, then be training very hard as he always does Just heard on Dutch TV, from his "close" friend sports commentator Mart Smeets, that Armstrong rode the upcoming Tour TT *five* times in the week before MSR and that he tried to keep it quiet. shows you can't trust your "friends" |

With this broken collarbone, he probably cannot win the Giro. * So now he's ****ed off. And now I gotta sit here and listen to all you Lance lovers talk stupid as if Lance can win a race like the Giro after coming off a 4-week vacation. *He cannot. *Or at least he doesn't want to. Lance doesn't like racing when he's not 100% prepared. *That's why he skipped the Athens Olympics. *That's why he skips worlds every year. Thanks, Magilla He couldn't win the giro regardless. His aim clearly was the big mouth. Now he will try to win leadville then do the hour. but otherwise I believe the dream is over. |

dumbass, correct. the more you are in over your head the more likely you are to crash. armstrong might have caught some danielsonitis. Damn, that's a nice word. *I'm not sure why I didn't think of it first. Magilla dumbass, i have to wonder about the hincapie factor. you know how certain guys, when you're on their wheel you know they won't get gapped or get into a crash (and some guys are the exact opposite). i figure hincapie must be that guy (even if he will never win roubaix or speak a full sentence). i can't see any other reason why armstrong would always have him around. |

Think he'll go out of his way to get to the start of the Giro? Perhaps he will, to get to the Tour start in *some* sort of condition. Electronic bone growth stimulators, too. |

... re LA; if he's out due to broken collarbone, how long on avg. would it be before he can race again ? Apparently there is an "aggressive surgery" option that can cut downtime pretty substantially. http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/cyclin...ory?id=4010909 "One study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2003 examined high-performance athletes with minimally displaced fractures who underwent surgery using titanium nails to address the break. These athletes were able to return to training in an average of six days and to competition within an average of 17 days, far quicker than would be possible without surgery." It's believable. When I broke the bone at the base of my thumb, I was told 8 weeks in a cast. I explained that doesn't work for me, and I'd read that there were surgical options that could substantially reduce that. So they bring in the hand surgeon specialist, put a titanium screw in and voila, 2.5 weeks later and I'm fully functional again. A bit of pain due to some ligament & muscle tears, but I'm not complaining. They also claim much better long-term freedom from arthritis, a serious issue with bones left to mend themselves sort of into position. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

Oh please if anything this increases the pressure on Lance for the TDF. One month is a short time to get ready for the TDF. He'll be riding on a trainer by the weekend. He'll be on the road well before the last week of April without surgery. He could be back on the road in less than 10 days if he gets it plated. http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.c...8413/index.htm How come nobody is raising the conspiracy theory that this "broken collarbone" happened to take the pressure off Lance to do well in the Giro or TdF?

Trustworthy guy who can set crazy tempo in the fifth and sixth hour (or seventh as we saw at MSR). |
