Team Sky leader Tony Martin is out of the Tour De France after a nasty crash just one kilometer away from the finish line on stage six.
Martin broke his collarbone in an odd looking collision, which occurred when he clipped the wheel of a bike in front of him. Martin, while wearing the yellow jersey, was helped off the track and brought to a doctor where his injuries were then confirmed.
Here is a quick look at the crash courtesy of Eurosport:

You can see him fold up and land right down on his collar bone, a nasty way to end your Tour.
Chris Froome now takes over as the race leader.
