Mark Cavendish: "I'm not optimistic"

Thirty times Tour de France stage winner Mark Cavendish said he was not optimistic after his crash in the final stretch when he was involved in an incident with Peter Sagan.
"I don't know, I gotta get it looked at. I have to speak with Peter. Injury-wise I'm going to go and get it checked out. I will definitely need stitches in this finger, it's bleeding a lot. With the shoulder, it might be something to do with a previous injury, it's sat backwards so I'm not sure if I've done something to the ligament. I'm not a doctor but from the feelings I'm not optimistic. I get on with Peter well but I don't get it... if he came across it's one thing, but the elbow... I'm not a fan of him putting his elbow in like that. I get on with Peter, a crash is a crash, but I'd just like to know about the elbow."
