From Floydlandis.com:
Floyd spent Saturday night in a Temecula hospital recovering from surgery after falling while riding
home from a gym workout Saturday afternoon. Surgery to repair the fractured femoral neck (top of
femor at hip joint) took 90 minutes and required the use of 3 titanium screws. No ligament or tendon
damage was reported.
"It hurt pretty bad right when I wrecked, so I knew something was up," said Floyd from his home in
Temecula. "The whole thing happened so fast I couldn't even try to catch myself."
Despite this current setback, Floyd remains positive about the upcoming season. "I figure this could
be a blessing in disguise, a painful blessing but a blessing none the less!"
"I'll miss some stuff but this injury gives me a chance to look deeper into the season and key off
some major events, like the Vuelta and World's."
The USPS Training Camp, set to start Feb. 21st in Solvang, CA, will be the first official team
function that Floyd will miss during his recovery. His racing schedule looks to now begin sometime
in May, pending clearance from his doctors.
"The Tour is still priority #1 so I'll just have to take the time to get healed up and then get back
into top form. I promise to return stronger than ever."
"I also promise to drink more milk!"
