The fall ripped the green best sprinter's jersey from Philipsen's back as he slid along the road, emerging with both shoulders badly grazed.
The Belgian's teammates stopped to help him, but they were soon told by the Alpecin team to continue on their way, as they realized the extent of the 27-year-old's injuries.
Philipsen won the 2023 green jersey as best sprinter on that edition of the Tour and has 10 career victories in the race.
His win in Stage 1 on Saturday also earned him the coveted yellow leader's jersey for the first time in his career.
