Belgian rider Philippe Gilbert has revealed he finished stage 16 of the Tour de France with a broken kneecap - and he even has the pictures to prove it.
Gilbert was leading yesterday's stage when he hit the wall - literally.
He crashed earlier in the stage while descending from
the Col de Portet-d'Aspet, hitting a wall and flipping off his bike spectacularly but avoiding major injury.
It was the same descent where Italian rider Fabio Casartelli died during the 1995 Tour.
He withdrew from the race at the end of the stage - after riding with a serious injury.
