Boise Olympic gold medal cyclist Kristin Armstrong will miss the rest of the Exergy Tour after crashing in Thursday's prologue and fracturing her clavicle. Armstrong will undergo surgery Friday morning.

She crashed about midway through the 2-mile course, but got back on her bike and finished the event. Armstrong finished 13th in the stage, eight seconds behind winner Tara Whitten.

Armstrong immediately grabbed her left shoulder as she crossed the finish line in obvious pain. She was crying while doctors attended to her after the race.

Armstrong was the 103rd and final rider of the day, the first of five in the inaugural Exergy Tour.

Canadian rider Tara Whitten won the stage, riding the 2-mile course in 4 minutes, 9.64 seconds. Whitten rides for Team TIBCO-To the Top, which had their bikes stolen in Boise before the race. All the bikes were recovered.

Canadian riders Gillian Carleton and Clara Hughes finished second and third, respectively.

The Tour continues Friday in Nampa.
