Manx cyclist Mark Cavendish has been involved in another crash at the Giro d'Italia.

It's the second time the Team Sky rider has been brought down during the event.

He had looked a strong contender for victory in stage 9 before getting caught up in the collision.

He also missed out in stage 3, when another rider cut in front of him.

The world champion was able to carry his bike over the line, so will be able to continue in the race.
