Chris Horner Breaks Wrist?

[Mellow Velo]

Involved in a crash, at today's Basque Country stage, along with another Astana rider, Daniel Navarro.
Taken to hospital.
Reported by LA, via Twitter, to have suffered a broken wrist.
Another problem for their prospective Giro team, if confirmed.

Hopefully it's not serious. He's by far my favorite American rider & he looked like he was coming into form just in time for Ardennes week.

He had been showing excellent form too. I was looking forward to seeing him in the Ardennes classics. Maybe its not as serious as originally feared.

Horner is the man. Today's news is that nothing is broken but he is flying to the us for further tests.
Yates has said that after putting a monster effort in stage 3 at the Basque race, he was with the chasers, 1 min behind Contadoper, and was climbing like nothing was going on. The other chasers were in the red...
If he is ok and no fractures, I would expect a serious performance by Chris at the Giro...
Also, if you catch some of his comentary in velonewstv, he is quite the commentator as well. A lot better than that Andreu poser....
