KTVB reported the following:
BOISE -- The husband of Olympic champion Kristin Armstrong has confirmed that his wife suffered a broken left collar bone in a crash during Thursday evening's Exergy Tour in Boise
That means Kristin Armstrong will not be competing in the remainder of the 2012 Exergy Tour.
However, Joe Savola also told KTVB that Kristin is scheduled for surgery on Friday, and that he's positive that she will make a comeback to the sport she has dominated for the past decade.
Armstrong crashed at the race's U-turn near the Boise Depot. The spill happened at approximately 8:15 p.m. Armstrong immediately got back on her bike, and finished the race in 4':17'':00'''. She was clutching her shoulder as she crossed the finish line.
Afterwards, Armstrong was rushed to the Team Exergy Twenty12 tent, where teammates surrounded her while medics treated her. The team's director told KTVB Armstrong would go to the hospital for X-rays.
Joe Savola says he expects Kristin to be back on a training bike within a few days. As for her widely expected appearance in the 2012 London Olympics, Savola says he's hopeful that his Kristin's 2012 season will speak for itself, and that she'll be selected to represent team USA despite the setback.
