George Hincapie (Discovery Channel) will not need surgery following his crash in the 104th Paris-Roubaix on the weekend, his team has reported. Hincapie returned to the USA on Monday evening and met with doctors Tuesday in Greenville, South Carolina. Doctors determined that the crash resulted in a 3rd degree separation of his shoulder as well as a severely bruised wrist. Hincapie's shoulder will be taped and placed in a sling until he can resume riding.
"I was happy to hear that I will not need surgery," said Hincapie. "I will be off the bike for about a week but look forward to resuming my training and to be in form for my next scheduled race the Dauphiné Libéré in early June followed by the Tour de France in July."
