MADRID (Reuters) - Nairo Quintana crashed out of the Tour of Spain on Wednesday when the Colombian Movistar rider suffered a second fall in as many days during the 11th stage and fractured a shoulder blade.

Quintana was leading the overall standings heading into Tuesday's 10th-stage time trial but a spectacular high-speed tumble led to him dropping down to 11th, nearly 3-1/2 minutes behind Spaniard Alberto Contador, who took over the leader's red jersey.
