Canadian rider Alex Cataford breaks collarbone after going down in Spain one-day race

Canadian cyclist Alex Cataford will be out four to six weeks after breaking his collarbone in the Prueba Villafranca-Ordiziako Klasik one-day race.

The 28-year-old from Ottawa went down when his front wheel was clipped by a rider in front of him in Monday’s race in Spain.

“Not exactly how I wanted second part of the season to start,” he said in a social media post.

Cataford’s Israel-Premier Tech team said Thursday that scans had revealed a far medial left collarbone fracture.
