Big crash today, already three riders abandoned. Lots of chatter from Mark Cavendish from yesterday--He really does need to learn to keep his mouth shut until his heart rate goes down, but it sure looked like he laid up in the last few seconds when Fabian C came screaming up the outside. I'm at the office so I only have the live text tweets not the actual video feed
Did anyone see the crash?
A crash during stage three of the Tour de France saw race leader Fabian Cancellara (Trek Factory Racing) come down hard before the day’s first categorised climb of Côte de Bohissau.
Cancellara looked dazed after the heavy fall that involved around 20 riders and appeared to have happened as William Bonnet (FDJ) touched wheels with another rider.
Cancellara could be seen talking to race staff and medics, and appeared to have trouble focussing his vision. However, he remounted and rode back in touch with the peloton.
Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme took the unusual step of halting the race completely, a decision which some riders appeared to disagree with.
Tom Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin), Laurens Ten Dam (LottoNL-Jumbo) and Simon Gerrans (Orica-GreenEdge) were among the worst affected, all withdrawing from the race with their injuries.
