  • Jon Gove

    Lance, This broken collar is just a mosquito bite compared to what you went through with cancer. Heal fast and enjoy a beer or two. Look forward to watching you in the TDF.

    Well Lance, I hope your recovery is quick and easy! We’ll be watching you on the Tour de France this summer. Of course you’ve got a GREAT Plan B if necessary, RAGBRAI. Let’s hope you don’t have to resort to Plan B!

    Good luck and LIVESTRONG!

  • Will Hussar

    Praying for the best, Lance! Can’t wait to watch the Tour de France this year! Go get your 8th win, you deserve it!

    I feel your pain man!!! I broke my clavicle, scapula(top to bottom) and a rib in the back. After waiting 16 weeks with no bone growth they did a plate, eight screws and a bone graph. Did they give you a bone stimulator? It is suppose to speed up the process. You can have mine. The good news is 4 weeks later I was riding in the Iron Horse (Durango, Colorado). The physical is easy the hardest part is the mental. This will be a piece of cake for you after all you have been through. You will overcome once again!! Best wishes!!!

  • John

    Hey no offense but maybe it is time to retire. This might be a sign to just relax, retire, golf and do something more normal.

  • andrew ro

    … Lance . . . “make shushu” on Contador…pls :)

  • Lorraine

    Lance…You are the best! You can overcome anything. Stay strong and be well!
    Can’t wait to see you win ## *8!
