Team Type 1's Matt Wilson will be out of competition for a couple of weeks following a training ride crash that left him with a broken wrist.

Wilson was training last Wednesday on the Pacific Coast Highway with Toyota-United’s Heath Blackgrove and Hilton Clarke when the crash occurred.

“We were coming up to an intersection and I didn’t see the guy in front of me stop and my bike went straight into him,” Wilson said. “It was a stupid nothing crash. I hit the ground at a bad angle and just broke it.”

Wilson will undergo surgery on his right wrist Tuesday.

“It was a huge disappointment for me,” Wilson said. “My training was going well and I was looking forward to San Dimas and Redlands and doing something straight off.”

Team director Ed Beamon said he's counting on having Wilson back in the lineup at the Tour de Georgia.
