Cavendish broke two ribs in crash 

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.
