I'll bet losing his pedal gave him an extra added surge of adrenaline.

I wondered what happened when he stopped pedaling for a minute

After watching the tour for pretty much my whole life, Ligget is like my favorite uncle who I only get to see every July. He can commentate the sprints like nobody else. Fun stage to watch, looking forward to more.

It's a contact sport.
It looked at first like Cavendish broke a collarbone from the way he was carrying his arm, but after seeing him walking around afterward, apparently he didn't. But I'm no doctor.

Hopefully he will be OK . . . there was no where to go right of Sagan but into the barriers. Poor decision on Cavs' part . . . Sagan was ridng defensively.

Peter Sagan has been disqualified from the Tour. That means he will no longer be in the race. The UCI race jury decided his move was in violation of race rules.
When I was covering the Tour in 2010 there was an incident involving Mark Renshaw, Cavendish's leadout man, into the sprint finish in Valence. Renshaw clearly threw two or three head butts. He was disqualified and removed from the race.

There may not have been much room to Sagan's R, but that elbow was pretty blatant.

It looked to me like the elbow was unintentional. Seems like a BS DQ to me, but I'm obviously no expert.

I am not able to see anything unintentional about that elbow. Scary stuff. Cav is tasting his own medicine...

Looked to me like Cav bumped Sagans rear wheel trying to find passage where there was none, and Sagan corrected the swerve accordingly.
I could be way off though.
Edit; Upon further review, looks like I'm wrong.

Looked to me like Sagan slamming the door on Cav. Not clear how much contact there was with the elbow, but it was clearly pretty dangerous riding by Sagan. I'm a fan of his, but I think this was the correct decision.

Based on that video it does not look like Sagan actually made contact.

Great viideo, I would blame Cav just as much. Perhaps they couldn't find another way to keep Sagan from winning the green Jersey.
Hopefully he is booked on a direct flight to SLC for the Crusher in the Tusher!
Sprinting stages are dumb and dangerous.

Cavendish = fuking aszhole.
You all forget that fuked move he made in the Olympics years ago?
Put the leader in the hospital with a dirty move.
Karma's your bitch now, Cavendish.
Cavendish is notorious for this sh!t.
He should have his ass kicked .....
The French judges need their eyeballs examined.
Stoopid French dipsh!ts !!!! LOL .....
