The list of injuries coming out of Sunday's Ronde van Vlaanderen continues to grow after earlier reports on Erik Zabel (Milram), Fabian Wegmann (Gerolsteiner), Lorenzo Bernucci (T-Mobile) and Vicente Reynes (Caisse d’Epargne), amongst many others. AG2R's Renaud Dion broke his left arm when he crashed about 90 kilometres before the finish. The arm was operated on directly Sunday afternoon, according to his team. Dion will remain in the hospital in Ronse for one or two days before returning home. It is not yet known how long he will have to sit out.
Matti Breschel of CSC came away with a bruised elbow. According to an x-ray examination on Monday, nothing was broken although his arm is beaten up pretty good. He hopes to be ready for Gent-Wevelgem and Paris-Roubaix, team CSC announced. In addition, "Lars Michaelsen suffered scrape wounds over his entire body, as did Fabian Cancellara to a lesser degree."
