Mark Cavendish is out of the Tour de France after crashing during stage eight on Saturday.
Widely regarded as cycling's greatest sprinter of all time, Cavendish came into this year's Tour level on 34 stage wins with Belgian legend Eddy Merckx.
Jasper Philipsen denied the 'Manx Missile' a record-breaking 35th stage win during stage seven on Friday.

After the gearing malfunction yesterday to this innocuous crash today, what a shame for the man and the race that, after all those amazing years, it ends like this.

Probably fell off deliberately as he knew he wasn't going to be Philipsen

A really sad ending for him and I also wasn’t that impressed with some of those photographers pushing his teammates out of the way to get a picture of him
