Skil-Shimano rider Yann Huguet crashed heavily during the final sprint of the first stage of the Circuit de Lorraine today. His team reported that the Frenchman broke his pubis, which is part of the pelvis, and it will be two months before is has healed enough for him to start his rehabilitation.
Huguet won the Dutch classic ‘Hel van het Merggelland’ earlier this year.
