Hondo hurts knee in crash

By Susan Westemeyer

Danilo Hondo slightly injured his knee Thursday in a training crash. His front wheel slipped away and he went down. "Fortunately I had only a few scrapes and bruises on my arm and hip. But my right knee hurt a little in training and will need further observation and treatment," he wrote on his website, www.danilo-hondo.com. Hondo, who will ride next year for the new Tinkoff Credit Systems team, added that he would try some physical therapy "to get everything under control again."
