Guerini breaks collarbone

By Susan Westemeyer

T-Mobile's mountain ace Giuseppe Guerini crashed on a climb on Friday in the Rothaus Regio-Tour, and after a quick treatment from the team doctor, finished the stage, only about 4 minutes down. However, further examinations showed that the 36-year-old had a hairline fracture in his left collarbone, and so he did not start Saturday's stage.
