Halgand breaks collarbone - again
Crédit Agricole's Patrice Halgand hasn't had a lucky 2006 season.

The French rider was unfortunate in January when he broke

his right collarbone while preparing for the

Jacob's Creek Tour Down Under. Now, tuttobiciweb

reported that the 32 year-old, who won a stage in the

Tour de France in 2002, broke that same bone once again

while training for a cyclo-cross race in his home

Vendée region. Halgand underwent surgery for

the first fracture, and it is not known whether

he will have to be operated on a second time.
