If Tinkoff don't change tomorrow, I, as a colour blind person, am going to think that we have 10 race leaders!!

Stage 5 is the one with the cobblestones, about 13 miles of them in total over 9 sections.

I don't think anyone will be racing over those. Gingerly does it. It's all right for a one day classic but not a three week tour.

"Please retune to ITV4". Is it 1982 again, or something?
Much poorer picture too.
This is going to be a tight finish.

Cav, it's very bad, don't think he'll be back.

Shame - be typical of the poor luck in this British sporting summer...

No, right on the shoulder, looks bad. Collar bone, rotator cuff maybe.

That looks like Cav shoved Simon Gerrans out of the road.

Heroic effort from Cav to finish, but I think that's it until the autumn.

Looking at him crossing the line he won't be sprinting in a hurry.
Not the first time he has got caught up with another rider in the last 1km.

Cav does have a habit of falling off in the last few hundred metres........a lot more than the other sprinters

Looked like a collar bone........he's probably out of the Tour

Very odd top 10. What happened to Greipel and Demare and Modolo? Kristoff ended behind Froome and Rogers too.
