Unhappy Bäckstedt breaks collarbone

He says he will be back for April, but this cannot be good for Slipstream.

His classics season must be in strife, and you'd think Slipstream had high hopes for him there. Dean and Sutton went down in that crash, too.

Stage 5 highlights
here have the overhead shot, which shows what happened clearly.

Poor bastard.

Bad luck crash.... yup, I would say his classics season is pretty much over unless he is very fortunate.

Nice sprint by Napolitano in getting by Boonen.

Don't count him out, he reckons he'll be back on the turbo in a couple of days and out on the open road within ten.
