"That's the risk of the job," the 37-year-old Frenchman announced on Facebook. The BMC athlete dislocated and broke his collarbone in a crash during training. Absalon should soon be back in training thanks to a bolted plate on his collarbone, but the plans for the season, which has only just begun, have been put on hold for the athlete, who has been riding for BMC since 2013. Back in November 2014, the mountain biker, who has been active as a professional since 1999, split his collarbone in two in a crash during a cyclocross competition.
