Team CSC's Carlos Sastre broke his right elbow when he crashed in Monday's first stage of the Vuelta al Pais Vasco. The Spanish climber is now out for two weeks.
"The doctors say it's not a complicated fracture, so he only needs to wear his arm in a cast for 10 days," said Team CSC's PR manager Brian Nygaard.
Along with Ivan Basso, Sastre was involved in a crash just before the final climb in today's stage. Basso got away with cuts and bruises.
