Apparently he hit a huge pot-hole! 
Not just one of my favourite riders (along with LA amongst others!
), he was also in my TdeF fantasy team! 
Get well soon, Jens!

He is my absolute favourite rider of all time. Seriously. And it looked a horrible fall.
Very, very sad to see this.

Looking at the replay,he seemed to hit a gentle bump in the road.All the others had taken the same line so he must have been relaxing his grip and the bump has thrown his front wheel. His glasses were knocked off - hope he didn't catch his head too hard.

Crossed fingers here too. Couldn't really seen what happened, ITV only showed the crash once and my first thoughts were that either the chain had snapped or a pedal had broken. I hope he's ok...

That was one really nasty crash. I am sure every one on here wishes him a speedy recovery.

Oh no! He's my absolute favourite pro-cyclist. He is great with his fans at Le Tour.
He was utterly relaxed around the fans, spent time talking, having his photo taken with any and everyone.. had babies perched on the handlebars of his bike when he was warming up on a turbo, so the proud parents could take photos.. he'd sign autographs... smile... and he's a great, strong cyclist. And a complete sweetie.
I hope he makes a swift and full recovery.

How much does it cost to Oldham?
One of the strongest! I'm sure he'll be fine.

Lance Armstrong's twitter feed says big Jens is doing ok, which is great news.

More news on Cyclingnews. Looks like he's ok if a little banged up.
Of course I'd like to thank Lance for making me aware of this first...
