French Mathieu Claude (Bouygues Telecom) fell in the third stage of the Vuelta a España and broke his right collarbone. Unlike Haimar Zubeldia (Euskaltel-Euskadi), also injured that day, he could not finish and had to quit the race earlier than expected.

The latter hit the ground with his jaw and, furthermore, cracked three teeth. Race organizer Unipublic arranged for dental aid so he could continue racing.
