Race director Christian Prudhomme says “the Tour de France is sad” after Mark Cavendish crashes out on stage eight.

The mortar shell, which was found in a plantation, is blown up on the beach in Kirk Michael.

Mark Cavendish is “still thinking” about a Tour de France comeback, but he hasn’t had an easy ride to this point.

High winds over the Irish Sea lead to the cancellation of the Manannan’s crossing to Liverpool.
