Alberto Contador withdraws from Tour de France

Two-time champion Alberto Contador withdraws from the Tour de France following a crash on stage 10.

Two-time champion Alberto Contador has pulled out of the Tour de France after crashing on stage 10.

The Team Tinkoff-Saxo rider follows Team Sky's Chris Froome in withdrawing from the event.

Contador, who was in ninth place in the overall classification, abandoned his campaign when he came off his bike in wet conditions on Monday afternoon.

The Spaniard won the Tour de France in 2007 before clinching the title again two years later.
