BALTANAS, Spain (AP)—Lance Armstrong was taken to a hospital Monday after crashing during the first stage of a five-day race in Spain. Armstrong fell in a pile-up about 12.5 miles from the stage’s finish. The seven-time Tour de France champion, who is making a comeback to cycling and is riding with the Astana team in the Vuelta of Castilla and Leon race, may have injured his collarbone.
Team spokesman Philippe Maertens said the American cyclist was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and race organizers said Armstrong was being treated at the Rio Carrion hospital in Palencia.
