Femur surgery for Caldwell

Garmin-Slipstream rider Blake Caldwell had to undergo surgery in Girona, Spain, after fracturing his femur out on a training ride on Thursday. The American was preparing for Vuelta a País Vasco but will now miss out on the event.

Writing on his personal blog, Caldwell announced that "surgery went well. It was a fracture of the femur that they secured with a plate. A fairly common break."
