Reports out of Spain indicate Team Astana rider Lance Armstrong was involved in a multi-rider crash around the 12.5 mile (20km) point of the race.  Holding his arm still and grimacing in pain, he was loaded into an ambulance and taken to a hospital.

Unattributed early reports suggest he may have fractured his collarbone.

Update:  First, a correction.  The crash was about 20km from the finish, not the start.

The latest reports confirm Lance did break his collarbone.  At this point, he is scheduled to fly back to the United States to consult with physicians regarding treatment options.
