Olympics-Cycling-Italian Nibali taken to hospital after crash (Reuters)
By Scott Malone RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 6 (Reuters) – Italian cyclist Vincenzo Nibali was taken to hospital with a possible fractured collarbone after crashing on a high-speed descent near the end of the Olympic men’s road race on Saturday, a team official said. Nibali attacked in the closing stages, leading a three-man breakaway on a climb late in the day. Nibali was attended by medical staff after failing to finish the race, a fate that befell more than half the 144 riders on a crash-heavy day in which many suffered technical problems during an early cobble-stoned section of the 237.5km course.
