Recently, Cavendish suffered abuse online after a dramatic accident in the Tour de France saw him crash out and his rival Peter Sagan disqualified for elbowing him. When he posted a video of his son, one of the online users wrote: "I hope all your children get cancer and die in pain." But Todd was not the one to take it lightly. She highlighted the comment and asked: "Really? Is that ok?"
