Froome breaks collarbone in crash at UAE Tour

Chris Froome, a four-time Tour de France champion, collided with him at the UAE Tour.

The 39-year-old Briton sustained the injury in a mass pile-up in the opening 10km of Sunday’s final stage.

His team Israel-Premier Tech said: “A CT scan confirmed a fracture to the right clavicle. An orthopedic surgeon will examine Chris tomorrow [Monday] to determine whether an operation will be required to stabilize his fracture.

Froome’s ability to compete in what is expected to be his final season in cycling is questioned by the injury.
