"I don't know [what happened], Elia just… next thing Elia was underneath me and I think he lost his front wheel," Cavendish told reporters after𝄹 the stage.
The first stage of the Tour of Britain was won by Andre Greipel of Lotto Soudal 𓆏who leads the race from Caleb Ewan (Orica-BikeExchange). For Cavendish, who took only three days off the bike after the Olympic Gꦿames the day ended in nursing his injuries.
"I'm all right. I've hurt my arm a bit [s🌸hows grazing on left arm] but nothing is broken."
When asked about his𒆙 form, he added: "I was all right actually, I was OK."

"I've no idea how the form is and this is my 🧸first race," Cavendi♛sh had said at the start of the race.
"I've be♕en training. I had🐈 three days off after Rio but I've got to race."
The Tour of Britain acts as a key build up race for the World Championshps that take place in Doha in October. The road race suits th𝓡e sprinters, and Cavendish and severa꧒l other potential contenders are at the race in order to find their form after already long seasons.
For Cavendish, there's extra incentive, and expectation as😼 he's riding on home roads and with 10 stage wins in the race already to name he is always a marked man.
"It's the first build up. It's about knowing where I am. The thing is this is the Tour of Britain so I'd like to do well here anyway. If it was any𓆉 other race I'd feel more relaxed."
