Levi Leipheimer (Photosport International)Breaking news: Leipheimer out of the tour with broken wrist
Details are sketchy at the moment but Team Astana have confirmed that Levi Leipheimer, who was involved in a fairly innocuous looking stack in the last 2km of yesterday's stage to Vittel, has suffered a broken wrist and won't be able to start today's stage.
Leipheimer was lying fourth behind Nocentini, Contador and Armstrong and it's a big blow for Team Astana to have one of their major players retire before such an important stage.
The only details we have thus far are from Astana and Leipheimer's Twitter feeds. "Team doc has confirmed that Levi has a transverse fracture of the right scaphoid (in wrist). Will not be able to start.", says the team's feed, and Leipheimer himself simply states, "My wrist is broken. I can't describe how disapointed I am"
Leipheimer's retirement sees Bradley Wiggins move up to fourth place in the Tour ahead of today's testing stage to Colmar.

If you are involved in an incident or collision you must maintain forward momentum whilst considering whether to stop or leg it.
Up until the late '60s, the route through Sopley was the main A338; it's now a B road....
Yeah, this website is a pretty horrible experience without an adblocker.
The absolute obscenity is that having pleaded guilty the day before his trial was set to begin this specimen is still entitled to a minimum 10%...
No surprises that it's an Audi A3, it had to be that or a BMW 1 series....
It wasn't a crash; it was an assault. Calling this a crash is like describing someone getting pushed down the stairs as a "slip.'' Words matters....
I think we've had enough silliness here. Move along!
It's not cherry picking....
