135 Comments

“In 17 years as a pro I have been lucky to avoid one of the most common cycling injuries. 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,? said Armstrong. Astana Team doctor Pedro Celaya was with Armstrong at the hospital. ?Lance suffered a fracture of the middle third of the right collarbone as well as some bruises on his right hip and arm,? added Dr Celaya.

More information about Lance’s injury can be found on our sister website LIVESTRONG.com

    This will make next year’s come back even bigger. Now I have enough time to save up for the 0210 Tour de France. Seriously, nobody can recover from a setback like this quicker than you. Look forward to seeing you back on the bike, make it soon!

  • Brian

    Get well soon Lance…hope you are feeling better.

  • http://standclearmusic.com Andrew Morse

    Knowing you (well not actually knowing you, but you know what I mean)
    your shoulder will probably heal up stronger than it ever was, and in some
    bizarre way make you even faster! Good luck in rehab–if anyone can make
    the best of a bad situation, it’s you.

  • Richard

    Good Luck with your surgery Lance,
    I remember you saying, ” it’s not what you have, but what you can find”! I know you’ll dig deep and get back on the bike soon.

  • LD Foster

    I’ll be wearing my “Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop” T-shirt to work tomorrow. I’m 64 now and started riding twice a week when I followed your tour wins and your amazing story. Get well soon Mr. Armstrong, the whole world needs your spirit and work in many ways.

  • http://www.eds-online.net Jay E.

    I am so sorry to hear of the crash. For what it’s worth Lance, I have had a bad crash that involved torn soft tissue in a shoulder separation. The doctors had told me then, that I would have been a quicker recovery if it had been a collarbone break (if I had had a choice in the matter).

    I am not a pro, but I love to ride and watch you ride. I feel your pain, my brother of the two wheels, and I have already begun praying for both your physical and mental healing.

  • Leo Versel

    get well soon lance!! you are an amazing biker, and im sure that nothing can keep you from competing in the next bike tour you do. i mean you’ve made it through cancer, which no one thought you could do, and won the tour de france that same year. so im sure this won’t be too much of a blow to you. anyways, have a good recovery from the injury.

  • Tina in Chicago

    Lance, I have always admired your spirit, your mental strength, and your ability to use tough circumstances as a springboard to launch you past your competitors. How many times has un unfair event made you so pi%%ed off that you used that raw emotion to motivate you to new heights? My prayers are with you to ease the pain right now. My heart is with you to recalculate your path in the future. No matter what your 2009 race record ends up looking like, I’ll always be in awe of all that you’ve accomplished. Now hurry up and heal that bone !!

  • Lexie

    Love you and all that you stand for. In line with millions of fans–get strong fast.

  • Andrea Hoss

    If anyone can recover quickly from this, it is YOU!! You were my 5 yr. old boy’s inspiration when we took the training wheels off of his bike. When he fell and was a little fearful of getting back on, he mentioned your name and said, “lance can do it, so can I !!” Rock on, brotha!!

  • anne

    Lance, I feel so bad for what happened to you, is it possible for the Drs to pin the bone back together, I had it done to the bone in my arm after falling on the ice. It healed much faster than when i had a cast a few years before that. take care, I know you will not let this stop you, because you are the Man!

  • John

    It’s OK Lance. It happens. Somebody broke my fibula for me. Do like I do [way you've always done] and pluck them off one by one in the holls! No worries mate.

  • Nelson Floyd

    May you heal soon. May you also continue to focus on the work you started which continues to influence millions around the world. Although racing has been your life and continues to be important, I believe ?the work? is your future and it is more important than anything.

  • Dan Snyder

    We don’t need no stinking collarbone…

    I’m sure the road had no idea who was hitting it or else it would have been softer.

  • Garry Tink

    All the best and a speedy recovery. Here’s hoping that you will be able to race again, wearing the yellow jersey under the Arc de Triomphe as we take one step closer to curing Cancer.

    When I am injured I see it as enforced tappering before a big event. Should be fine for a trip to France I would think. All the best.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery from California. I saw you at Tour of California and as a fellow cancer survivor, you will get through this as you have overcome much bigger challenges.

  • John G.

    I broke my collarbone in a 2007 crash during a qualifying race for the TdF predecessor. To ride in France, I had to do another qualifier a few weeks later while broken.

    I was 43, you’re younger. If you want to continue, you can do it. Courage!!!

    You’ve been through worse crashes. I’ve read your book and I know this fall is just a minor bump on the road. You can recover and continue being a source of inspiration to all. Win the 2009 Tour de France!

  • Rainard

    I had the same injury last August. Recovery may be quick even if first days are very painful. Take care, one piece of advice move your arm in order to avoid phlebitis (happened to me). Hope to see you on the Ventoux in July. Stephane in Paris

  • John

    Best wishes on a speedy recovery Lance.

    What is it they say in Hollywood (you’d know better than I)? There is no such thing as bad publicity, or something like that? Well, they’re talking about you on ESPN, and you’re all over the internet. Where am I? LAF.org. And I’m reading about the global fight against Cancer.

    Manage the pain and heal well so that you can ride again, but keep up the great work that your foundation does.

    Wishing you all the best from Del Rio, TX!

    I’d never got to see you race, couldn’t believe it when you announced you’d be racing the tour this year. I got my travel plans booked straight away, as to not let the dream escape me. I’ll be there Lance, hope you are too.
    You could ride one handed and still win.

  • Calfee3

    Lance – to paraphrase LA’s War …14 years at the top, not winning all the time, but THERE, not the first guy dropped, not in grupetto all through the year…
    This new role doesn’t suit you. Its not your character to support other’s plans during the race and it distracts you. You’ve never had an injury like this before in a race because you’ve never been in a position like this in April.
    Please take care – but come back and win #8.

  • http://Facebook Jr

    keep fighting the good fight lance, i am sure you will be back riding in no time. we will be keeping you in my our prayers for a speedy recovery.

    According to dutch television star Mart Smeets you have to brake a collarbone to become a true cyclist. Welcome to club Lance! Just heal fast and kick some 4ss in france!

  • Néstor

    Estimado Lance: Desde Alicante (España) te envío un fuerte abrazo y toda la energía para que tengas una rápida recuperación. Quien ama este deporte, te valora y te estima, desde cualquier rincón del planeta (las virtudes de un deporte tan bello son universales, no entienden de nacionalidades). He de decir que me gustaría que obtuvieras la victoria en el Tour o al menos pudieses rendir a un buen nivel (Alberto, que es un gran hombre y un gran corredor tiene mucho tiempo por delante). Hubo una vez en la que realmente pedi por ti y me fue concedido, pues te seguía por la prensa estadounidense desde que comenzaste tu carrera como triatleta. No puedes imaginar la alegría que me dio ver tus primeras carreras en España, tras tu recuperación (Vuelta a Andalucía, Vuelta a España, en la que te vi en persona tras subir al Catí pero respeté tu descanso…). Ahora, gracias a dios, ya no peleas por nada tan importante. Decía el padre de Miguel Indurain que su hijo era un campeón por ser como era, que para eso no había que ganar nada, que podría haberse dedicado a cualquier cosa y hubiera seguido siendo un ser excepcional. Creo que esas palabras son completamente válidas para ti. Recupérate pronto. Un fuerte abrazo.

    Lance,

    You are an incredible motivation for millions of people. You inspire those that follow you to always be their best. You have done incredible things for cancer research and are a role model for millions.
    I wish you a speedy, strong recovery. I know you will bounce back better than ever. I can’t wait to watch you on the Tour again this year.
    Live strong.

  • Tanita (Melbourne,Australia)

    Hi Lance,

    The minute I finished the last page of your book, the report came on our news that you had broken your clavicle. What’s with that!!!??? I’m a nurse and your storey explains to me the look on some of the patients faces, so thanks. I also now feel like I have to suck it up and move my ass when I run compared to what you and other riders do and go through. So, look after your self, no more breaking clavicles and good luck in the Giro and the tour. I’ll be watching (at 1.30 am here!).

    Luv Tanita.
    P.s Pls be kind to Cadel, Stuart(Ogrady) & Robbie

  • Tom

    Lance,

    You have inspired me to go out and compete in Triathlons this year. I was going to do my indoor training while you pushed yourself to compete in the races leading up to the Tour De France. With you out I have lost my ambition. Give me a glimmer of hope you will be back. I know that is what I am going to need to push myself.

    Get Well Soon,

  • Jeff Harry

    Lance,

    You’ll be back–no pain no gain. Like many others, I hope to see you back at the tour, you inspired me to move on (cancer survivor, same place as yours) and eventually we had a son, post cancer, against all odds, his name is Lance Harry…in any case, get better and get back in the saddle, we’d love to see you in the tour. If not, you’re still numeral uno in my book.

  • Gregory McGehee

    Lance,
    I have seen you crash hard and come back with great determination such as when the bystander’s bag caught your handle bar and swiftly took you to the pavement during one of your many Tour victories. Challenges that stop others are mere speed bumps to the greatest Tour rider in history. Don’t take a risk in the Italian Tour. By the way, I don’t have travel plans to be in France for the Tour, but look forward to your return with much anticipation as do millions of other fans.
    Live Strong,
    Gregory

  • Jeff Anderson

    I was hit by an uninsured drunk driver January in Austin and broke many bones plus my clavacal…my surgeons were great here and I’m sure your’s in Austin will get you back to ‘cycling shape’ in no time too!!! After reading your book about your battle with cancer, this will be just a ‘drop in the bucket’…welcome back to Austin…sorry it has to be under these circumstances….get well!!!

  • Brenda

    Lance my prayers are with you.Get back fast as there are so many people that look up to you.

  • trena irving

    I believe setbacks build character and you have lots of character so you’ll get through this. Everytime I’m out biking, skiig or whatever and it is a major struggle, I tell myself it’s a character building training and it’s those memories I pull out during a big race and then I go faster, harder and with more perseverance. All the best, you are my hero and you’re in my prayers.

  • Luca

    All Italians hope you will be at Giro d’Italia!

  • Ruth

    Lance,

    You are the reason for my Tour de France passion. I haven’t watched since you retired. The sport needs you back and I know you will pull through this challenge with grace and a fighter’s spirit. Rest, recuperate, and you’ll be back on the bike in no time. I look forward to rooting you on and getting swept up in all the Tour signifies once again, thanks to you.

    We lost my mom to cancer last year and my father is stage 4 and in the fight of his life right now. Thanks for everything you’ve done and continue to do on behalf of the cancer community.

    Buck up, cowboy! My husband recently broke his clavicle in two places requiring surgery, two plates and 8 screws. He made a sling from his spare inner tube and walked out of the trail about 4 miles pushing his bike!!
    This happened over the holidays so he wasn’t able to see a doctor until 6 days later! I realize you are after all Lance Armstrong, but this sure has given me renewed respect for my old man…he’s 50!!

    i recently had an injury from a bike fall in the fall of 2010. i was proceeding down a hill too fast of course.the road was bumpy so i had to veer into the opposing lane.the road is usually empty except on this day the road had a car coming up the hill.
    to keep it short i had to ditch the bike to avoid hitting the car head on. my las helmet was cracked and my rear brake caliper bolt snapped. i was alive was the big thing for me. i would live to ride another day. i wish all the survivors good wishes as i had.
