Omega Pharma - Quick-Step Cycling Team confirms that Mark Cavendish underwent further examination on his right shoulder after today's crash.

The imaging underlined ligament ruptures with an AC-joint dislocation, which causes him a lot of pain. A final decision on his participation in tomorrow's stage will be taken tomorrow morning.

"I'm gutted about the crash today" Cavendish said. "It was my fault. I'll personally apologise to Simon Gerrans as soon as I get the chance. In reality, I tried to find a gap that wasn't really there .I wanted to win today, I felt really strong and in a great position to contest the sprint thanks to the unbelievable efforts of my team. Sorry to all the fans that came out to support - it was truly incredible."

I don't either so won't be able to elaborate sorry.

I know you can't really have comic timing when there's delays between posts, but the way I read that, the cat nailed the delivery.

Bravo puss, bravo.

Confirmed Mark Cavendish is out.
Bet he's gutted but he knew it was over when he crossed the line yesterday as it was written all over his face

[Chazza]

Yeah he knew straight away.

At least is was just a dislocated shoulder and not a break.

Gutted. All down to Froomedog now.

Aces. Whereabouts? I lived on Netherfield Road that leads up to Chevin End. Parents only moved from there 18 months ago- same house for 30+ years.

That crowd is full of loons.

Well that was exciting. Some blokes went past on bikes after an hour of French people in vans waving at the crowd. So glad I didn't miss it.
