Bad luck for Zandio

Not everyone could celebrate the successful finish of another flat stage of the Tour de France. Caisse d'Epargne's Xabier Zandio fell victim to a crash in Stage 4, during which he broke his right collarbone. Zandio hasn't had the best luck during this Tour; he took a fall in a crash in Stage 1.

Zandio crashed while in the middle of the bunch. After the crash, he was transferred to Coulommiers, where he underwent x-rays to confirm his condition. The racer from Navarra will return tonight to Pamplona, where he will undergo an operation.
