05-Aug-2010 – Ustron: Cervélo TestTeam rider Xavier Tondo (ESP) suffered a broken collarbone after a crash in the fourth stage of the Tour of Poland

“Xavier suffered a break of his right collarbone,” said Andreas Goesele, Medical Officer of Cervélo TestTeam. “We will not perform surgery; he will recover completely without it. This way he can start training again in a reasonably short time.”

“I knew the final of yesterday’s stage was pretty tricky so I went to the front to be safer and I felt really good,” said Xavier Tondo. “I took a drink and I didn’t see the gap in the road. I went down and when I stood up I immediately felt that my collarbone was broken. Fortunately it is a little fracture, and I hope to be fit in time for my next goal, the Vuelta a España.”
