BALTANAS, Spain (AP) — Lance Armstrong will have surgery after breaking his collarbone Monday during a race in Spain. “I‘m alive!” the seven-time Tour de France champion wrote on his Twitter feed. “Broken clavicle (right). Hurts like hell for now. Surgery in a couple of days. Thanks for all the well wishes.” The 37-year-old American cyclist was knocked off his bike during a pileup in the first stage of the Vuelta of Castilla and Leon race. The injury has jeopardized his participation in upcoming races. Armstrong was scheduled to compete in the Giro d‘Italia from May 9 to May 31 and the Tour from July 4 to July 26.
