Orica GreenEdge have confirmed that Michael Albasini is out of the Tour De France.
Albasini fractured his upper arm in a crash on stage five and will take no further part in the race.
Orica's team director Matt White said: "We were involved in multiple crashes, although I don’t think there was a team that wasn’t involved in a crash today. Michael Albasini hurt himself in his second crash, and after a review from our medical team and scans, will not start today to a fracture in his upper left arm.”
That leaves Orica down to just six riders with Darryl Impey and Simon Gerrans out after being involved in the massive crash on stage three.
