Jumbo-Visma rider Tony Martin has been kicked off by Tour officials, after appearing to try and run Ineos rider Luke Rowe off the road late on stage 17.
Martin swerved in front of Rowe, who managed to maintain his balance but then put his hands on Martin soon after.
Rowe has also been expelled.
It's not clear if there was another incident prior to the run-in.
Italian Matteo Trentin has won the stage, while France's Julian Alaphilippe has retained the yellow jersey.
