Britain’s best road cyclist Mark Cavendish has injured himself in the off season while playing on the Nintendo Wii, at home on the Isle Of Man.
Cavendish won four stages of the Tour de France this year and is twice Madison World Champion. Speaking to Eurosport, Cavendish admitted falling off the Wii Fit Balance Board while playing a “snowboarding game” (bet it was Shaun White’s fault) and has injured a calf muscle.
Cavendish, joining the growing ranks of injured Nintendo Wii players, said: “It’s a minor injury in the off-season. I may have to visit a medic rather than heading for Tuscany, as I’d planned.”
