WATCH: Cavendish crash in Stage 4 TDF17
Mark Cavendish has been forced to withdraw for this year’s Tour de France after fracturing his shoulder blade in the late crash on stage 4.
What looked to be a strong comeback to racing for Cavendish, is now over before it really began.
Medical examinations at the hospital in Nancy, France, has confirmed that Cavendish has fractured his right shoulder blade after colliding with Peter Sagan and crashing against the barriers in the final sprint in Vittel.
In the process World champion Peter Sagan was kicked out of the race for causing the incident.
Sagan's team are now appealing the decision to disqualify him from the race for his part in the crash.
But back to the crash.. WOW.
Did Sagan really intentionally use his elbow to push Cavendish off his bike or was this just an unfortunate cycling accident?
Make your choice..
