Horner out with broken hip

Chris Horner won't be racing the Tour de Georgia for Saunier Duval as he has a hairline fracture in his hip, sustained in a crash during Tirreno Adriatico on March 10. Although Horner continued to ride with the injury, he was advised not to race again until it had fully healed. Horner hopes to be back in top condition by the Tour de Suisse in June, and if he does well there he could be selected for the Tour de France.
