Broken collarbone for Amador

Andrey Amador was unable to attend the Paris-Nice victory celebrations for Caisse d'Epargne teammate Luis León Sánchez because he was in hospital with a broken collarbone.

The 22-year-old from Costa Rica went down on the descent of Col de la Porte. The first-year professional won the prologue in the 2008 Tour de l'Avenir. (SW)
