Francaise des Jeux's Remy Di Gregorio has been forced to quit the Tour de France after scans revealed he fractured his elbow during a fall on stage four.
The 22-year-old climber, who was making his debut in the Grande Boucle, went down in the same incident that forced Caisse d'Epargne's Xabier Zandio to abandon.
Though he soldiered on to the finish, he finished a full 7'58" off the pace.
"He couldn't even bend his elbow, which is never a good sign," FdJ sporting director Martial Gayant said.
"He was very brave to finish the stage, but he can't continue.
