Mark Cavendish suffered his second nasty crash within a month as his front wheel collapsed during the opening prologue of the Tour of Qatar yesterday (Sunday).
The HTC-Highroad sprinter cut and bruised his face, and broke his helmet, after bunny-hopping over a speed hump.
His team must decide whether Cavendish, who cut his face at the recent Tour Down Under, will race the first stage.
The event was won by Dutchman Lars Boom ahead of Olympic time-trial champion Fabian Cancellara.
