So the guy is a pro biker and does a lot of his biking in scenarios that actually ought to be safer for bikes than riding the city streets. And he still gets banged up frequently.
Pro bike road racing is "safer" inasmuch as the peloton doesn't mix with regular traffic. That's it. Ask anyone who's been following bike racing with any regularity: crashes are a fact of life. And a broken collarbone is a typical cycling injury. You might even say that a racer who didn't smash a collarbone in his career didn't have much of a career in the first place.
