It's been confirmed Mark Cavendish broke two ribs in a crash during the Ghent Six Day event in Belgium.
The Manx missile was competing in the event when he came off his bike - he was then taken to Ghent University Hopsital, where he was kept overnight.
Examinations showed Mark suffered two broken ribs on this left side and had a small pneumothorax -- both of which have been treated with medication.
He's been kept in the hospital for observation - but is expected to be discharged either later today or tomorrow morning.
