Lance had a fall in Spain last week while attempting to regain full fitness in anticipation of his return to the cycle after coming out of his second retirement in 2005.

Armstrong, riding for Team Astana, crashed about 10 miles from the end of the first stage of the five-day Vuelta Ciclista a Castilla y Leon race. He said he has never before broken a collarbone in his 17 years as professional and added, “It’s pretty painful. Just wait and see how it heals.”

Its reported that the champion cyclist could be out for three or four weeks because of the collarbone injury. Lance was planning to race May 9-31 in the Giro d’Italia, one of Europe’s most prestigious and grueling stage races. He said Monday that his plans for racing in the Giro were now “problematic.”

In the past couple of years Lance has been seen concentrating more on his relationships than his cycling career with rumours of connections with Mary Kate Olsen, Kate Hudson and of course his long time relationship and engagement to singer Sheryl Crow which ended in 2006.
