Yesterday Omega Pharma-Quick Step reported that Mark Cavendish was a possible non-starter in today's second stage of the Tour de France after the Brit went down hard in the finale of yesterday's opening stage. Now his team have confirmed that the Brit won't take the start.

Cavendish underwent further examination on his right shoulder after the crash. The imaging underlined ligament ruptures with an AC-joint dislocation, which causes him a lot of pain.
