- Cyclist will stay level with Eddy Merckx on 34 Tour stage wins
- Mads Pedersen sprints to stage victory in Limoges
Mark Cavendish’s Tour de France career ended dramatically, on an anonymous stretch of rural road, 60km from the finish of stage eight to Limoges, after a touch of wheels at the rear of the peloton left him lying on the tarmac, clutching his right shoulder.
The crash came after a bump of shoulders in the middle of the peloton rippled through to the rear of the pack. After being left supine on the road, Cavendish eventually climbed into the race ambulance, arm in a sling, and quit his final Tour.
