Cavendish slams internet trolls after Tour crash

Manx cyclist Mark Cavendish has made an emotional plea online after he and his family were subjected to abuse by internet trolls.

The Manx Missile is out of the Tour de France - he broke his collarbone after a crash involving world champion Peter Sagan, who's been booted out of the race.

But the incident has sparked much comment online and the 32-year-old says he and his family have been sent threats.

In a video posted on the internet, recorded in a helicopter, Cav's asked people to stop:
