Wow - here's a story about racing bicycles not involving drugs! :)

While the film based on Scottish cycling legend Graeme Obree – the "Flying Scotsman" – is set to be released in the UK on Sunday, Scottish Champ Car rookie Ryan Dalziel has not been as fortunate on two wheels.

Fresh from recording his best qualifying and race results at Edmonton on the weekend, Dalziel suffered an accident while training on his bicycle on Tuesday and suffered a broken collarbone.

Dalziel will now miss this weekend's San Jose Grand Prix for Pacific Coast Motorsports and will be reassessed prior to the Road America event on August 12.

He is expected to be back behind the wheel when the Champ Car World Series returns to Europe for the Zolder (Belgium) and Assen (Netherlands) events on August 26 and September 2 respectively.

Dalziel is not the only driver on the recovery trail. PKV's Frenchman Tristan Gommendy suffered a back injury after crashing in Friday qualifying in Edmonton and was forced to sit out the remainder of the weekend.

He is hopeful of returning to the PKV squad this weekend in San Jose.
