Hughes OK after road-race crash

Veteran cyclist Clara Hughes has been given a clean bill of health after a Monday crash in a road race.

"Only scratches and minor bruises, nothing that her and her coach are worried about," a Hughes spokesman said Tuesday.

The 39-year-old from Glen Sutton, Que., went over her handlebars after being caught up in a crash at the Gatineau Grand Prix in Quebec.

She went on to finish eighth in the race won by Specialized Lululemon teammate Ina-Yoko Teutenberg.

On Saturday, Hughes won the Chrono Gatineau Time Trial.
