premise: In 2005 Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France being considered the best rider that have ever competed in this contest. In 2008, after three years of retirement, he announced that he wants to compete the 2009 Tour de France. But unfortunately he was hospitalized today after crashing during a race in Spain in the first stage of a five-day race. The accident took place 12,5 miles from the stage's finish in La Vuelta de Castilla y Leon. It seems that Armstrong has injured his collarbone and was in such pain that he needed to go to Rio Carrion hospital in Palencia.
hypothesis: Lance Armstrong is a French rider.
