Looks as though (hopefully) inadvertant contact with a spectator may have caused the cut.
Let's hope the spectators aren't doing things like this. I read one article that said he was forced up against the barriers and that is where the cut occured. I was watching the tv and they never got a shot of it as it happened or hadn't when I turned it off.
I hope he is able to continue without any handicap from the accident.

He was way out to the left of the screen - I noticed the yellow jersey all the way against the barriers, and thought for a minute he was going to crash.
