Vos undertakes surgical treatment for collarbone crack

European champ Marianne Vos (Waowdeals) will certainly miss a month of racing after crashing in Liège-Bastogne-Li ège on Sunday and fracturing her collarbone. The Dutch motorcyclist had successful surgical treatment to repair the break and will be confined to indoor training for the coming weeks.
