Nasty crash again for Mark Cavendish at the Italian Monument.



Race result spoiler below...

Great win at the end by Nibbles, only just holding off the bunch with Caleb Ewan just metres behind at the end! Brilliant finish to an otherwise fairly lacklustre affair.

Looks a bit like riding into the back of a parked car, when you were a kid. It always pays to look where you're going!!

To be fair, there are usually police and marshalls signalling road furniture in and out of roundabouts like that and they were on pretty much all the other ones. Why that one wasn't flagged is daft, but yeah, he wasn't paying attention methinks.

It was a few metres behind a marshalled and flagged traffic island. Looks like he swung in too early after it.

On the plus side, the Isle of Man Gymnastics team coach has offered him a place on the Commonwealth Games team.
