Yup, real shame (and not great news for Froome, either - he really didn't want the

lead of the race right now).

Reminder that bike crashes at relatively low speed (as this one was) are often the worst for accidents (because you go up and then down hard, rather than skid along the road forwards). Have done the same thing myself - slow crash, up, down, shattered collarbone. Very horrid indeed.
