This is too bad, I was looking forward to watching him at the Tour of California.

He should be back by then. The VeloNews article said he should be ready for the spring classics.
I hope Slipstream comes to the Tour de Georgia.
Edit: I just found out that California is in February, so I guess there's a good chance he won't be ready.

Paris-Roubaix with a broken collarbone = Instant badass.
I hope he gets some serious attention from the ladies after he pulls that one off.

heartbreaking! they were in great position to take the stage with Sutton third back! He's paying dearly for that one.
I hope he is well for the ToC. He is optimistic, thats good.

Yeah, he more or less said it was his fault. That sucks, too. In fact, I guess I'm a bigger Slipstream fan than I thought, cause I let go quite a stream of profanity when I saw this news.
