Team Sky's Edvald Boasson-Hagen has been forced to withdraw from the 100th Tour De France.
The Norwegian broke his fractured right scapula in a crash on stage 12 but got back on a bike to finish.
After the race he was taken to a medical centre where the fracture was diagnosed.
Team Doctor Alan Farrell confirmed the news, telling TeamSky.com: "After the crash Edvald was taken to a local medical centre for x-rays which revealed he had a fracture of his right scapula (shoulder blade).
"Fortunately this doesn’t require surgery but Edvald will return home to Norway for further investigation and treatment and we look forward to seeing him racing again sometime over the summer."
Team Principal Sir Dave Brailsford added: "It’s a real shame for Edvald and a setback for the team that he’s been forced to abandon the race. "It’s never nice to lose a rider of Edvald’s ability, but ultimately we’re still confident that with the riders we’ve got left we can pull together and see the race through. "The plan doesn't change and we will do everything we can to support Chris [Froome]."
