Last weekend Cadell Evans broke his collar bone when he crashed during the German "Rund um die Hainleite" race. It seems certain that he can forget his Tour de France.

Evans said:
"After I broke my collar bone in the Amstel Gold Race it took me five weeks to reach competition form again. This time the fracture is even more serious" (note: translation from Dutch text)

With Paolo Savoldelli still recovering from a serious crash, this is another major setback for Team Telekom.

Damn, I was looking forward to watching Cadell's effort this year. He really impressed me in last year's Giro.

Damn.

That really is another shame for the tour. However, Cadel is still young and he'll get his chances in the tour. Maybe telekom will be in the vuelta, and he could be recovered by then.
