Duster breaks pelvis in Aus crash



German cyclist Sarah Duster broke her pelvis when she crashed at the warm-up event for this week's World Road Championships in Australia.

Sunday's race was won by teammate Trixi Worrack, who outsprinted Belgian Liesilot Decroix and relegated Carla Swart of South Africa to third place in the 90-kilometre World Cycling Classic at Buninyong, near Melbourne.

Duster, 28, crashed into a rider who had fallen in front of her, according to the Cyclingnews website.

The world title will be decided Saturday in a 127-kilometre road race.
