That is terrible. It's such a shame that it happens. So Euros.....I always read about so many pros crashing during training. Is it just the narrower roads, big winds, just more time on the bike? I sppose it is publicized more in Europe.
I never hear much about pro crashing in training outside of Europe.?
prob just because all the top pro's live in europe and train there all year so it's most likely to happen in europe.
don't know what conditions are like in the rest of europe but the roads are terrible here in Britain after all the snow and ice over the winter. there are pot-holes everywhere. |

Agritubel quits cycling
By Bjorn Haake
After five years of sponsoring a cycling team Agritubel will quit the sport at the end of the season. Agritubel, the maker of agricultural equipment, saw its team receive the ProContinetal status in 2005.
The team told Cyclingnews that José Fornes, CEO of Agritubel, has reached his goals, which was to make his brand known on a bigger scale and receive some reputation. Fornes indicated that it is time to turn the page, despite the passion that he still has for cycling. Fornes added that France is going through a financial crisis "that doesn't quite help."
The team is currently looking for a new sponsor to be able to keep riders, staff and management together. The current team has several strong riders, including the brothers Brice and Romain Feillu and Kevin Ista, who won the thrid stage of the Tour Méditerranéen and finished second in the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
The first big success for the team was a stage win in the 2006 Tour de France. Nicolas Vogondy became French champion last year and Romain Feillu won the yellow jersey in stage three of the Tour de France.

Hopefully, the disbanding of Agritubel will mean one more interesting team at the Tour instead |

Now (at the end of this season) all the French team will be after Romain Feillu, who is a promising sprinter.

It's a non-complicated fracture, and usually riders recover pretty fast from that.
According to the doctor who operated him today, 2 months rest will be the bare minimum before he starts training again. And it's likely to take quite a bit longer than that.

Yeah, they discovered that the fracture was more complicated than they initially thought.

i will be sad to see Agritubel leave though there a good attacking team always bring excitement in races like the tour de France and the tour of Britain like last year vogondy in the tour an geoffrey lequatre in the tour of britain on berges. |

woa-woah. They're only sponsorless for next season. They're looking for a new sponsor. Nothing about the team going yet.
