BAR » class as he reeled off four

James Wade crashed out of the World Matchplay in the first round after a 10-5 defeat to Mervyn King in Blackpool. The sixth seed has previously reached the final on six occasions, but he produced a lacklustre performance as King completed a convincing victory at the Winter Gardens.But Gary Anderson, Adrian Lewis and Peter Wright are all safely through to the last-16 after they claimed opening wins on the second day of the tournament. A wasteful display of finishing from Wade began in the very first leg as three missed darts at a double allowed King to hold throw. King was clinical with his checkouts The experienced King was punishing regular errors from his erratic opponent and took out 100 on double 10 to establish a 4-1 lead.Wade was unable to close the gap, with King calmly compiling his checkouts, and the Suffolk man sunk his dart into double four to inflict an upset loss on Wade. Gary Anderson may have forgotten his darts ahead of his match but he was still too good for Alan Norris Second seed Anderson had no such problems as he inflicted a crushing 10-1 defeat on Alan Norris.The Scot would only allow Norris the opening leg, hitting 10 of his 15 shots at the double in a masterful performance.Anderson had struggled on past trips to the seaside resort, but strolled to victory on this occasion and treated the crowd to fine 139 finish.Lewis had earlier been given a few uncomfortable moments by former BDO World Champion Mark Webster in a 10-6 win. Adrian Lewis had some choice words for next opponent Gerwyn Price after beating Mark Webster in round one of the World Matchplay The Welshman held his own in the early stages, hitting double 12 to edge 5-4 in front.But Lewis would show glimpses of his class as he reeled off four legs in a row to set up another showdown with Gerwyn Price.Price won last years meeting in the quarter-finals and Lewis vowed to turn him over. In the closing match, Wright comfortably pulled clear of Joe Cullen to complete a 10-5 victory.

HARROGATE, England -- Marcel Kittel of Germany won the first stage of the Tour de France for a second straight year after a late crash brought down British rival Mark Cavendish in the presence of royals on Saturday. Kittel, who earned four Tour stages last year, won the 190.5-kilometre (118-mile) run in mainly bucolic Yorkshire countryside from Leeds to Harrogate. The German raised his arms skyward and cried after he edged Peter Sagan of Slovakia in second, and Ramunas Navardauskas of Lithuania in third. "I am incredibly proud of this victory," Kittel, a Team Giant-Shimano rider who also won two Giro dItalia stages in May, said through a translator. "It happened pretty easily. It was like coming out of a tunnel. I was able to accelerate like never before. "Its really awesome. Deja vu, yeah." Christian Meier of Langley, B.C., was the top Canadian, finishing 141st in 4:44:07, while Svein Tuft, also from Langley, placed 163rd in the same peloton. The two favourites for victory in the three-week race, Alberto Contador and Chris Froome, finished safely in the trailing pack that clocked the same time as Kittel. With fewer than 400 metres to go, and the speedsters rushing ahead, Cavendish veered slightly to his left, tilted his head and bumped into Australias Simon Gerrans. The two crashed alone, with Cavendish landing hard on his right shoulder. Cavendish got up gingerly and cruised over the finish line -- cradling his right arm. X-rays revealed he separated his right shoulder, a Tour statement said. Omega Pharma QuickStep said in a separate statement that a decision about whether he will continue the race will be made on Sunday morning. "Im gutted about the crash today," Cavendish said in the statement. "It was my fault. Ill personally apologize to Simon Gerrans as soon as I get the chance. In reality, I tried to find a gap that wasnt really there. I wanted to win today." Many British fans were hoping for a win by Cavendish, a native of the Isle of Man, whose mother is from Haarrogate.ddddddddddddPrime Minister David Cameron, Princes William and Harry, and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, were on hand among throngs of British fans who lined the route -- a testament to the cycling craze in the U.K. England hosts the first three stages of this 101st Tour before riders enter France on Tuesday. In all, the 198 riders are to cover 3,664 kilometres (2,277 miles) of road before the July 27 finish in Paris. Stage 2 on Sunday covers 201 kilometres from York to Sheffield, in southern Yorkshire. Cavendish previously said that winning the first Tour stage was his main goal this year. He was hoping to capture his first yellow jersey and his 26th Tour stage win. "Its sad because he (Cavendish) was racing in front of the home country," Sagan said. Added Kittel: "I hope he gets well soon. Im looking forward to seeing him on the race tomorrow ... its not nice to have Mark crash. Nobody wants that." A second German excelled on the English roads: Veteran Jens Voigt took the polka-dot jersey as the races best climber, after getting out early on a three-man breakaway that first cleared three low-grade hills including Buttertubs pass. At 42, the Trek Factory Racing rider is the oldest competitor this year: This is his 17th Tour, equaling the record. The nervous first day included more mishaps. Untold tens of thousands of fans turned out in such big numbers that a train service shuttle between the start and finish towns was crammed, and some had to wait for 90 minutes or even longer to get aboard -- or gave up altogether. Yorkshire, the largest county in England, has paid richly for the right to host the Tour. The peloton sped by abbeys in ruins and sights like 14th century Bolton Castle, near Leyburn, before finishing in Harrogate, known for its spas. Nearly three dozen countries are represented at this Tour, led by France with 44 riders. Its the second time cyclings greatest race has begun in Britain, though the Tour also crossed the English Channel for stages in 1974 and 1994.
