The Welsh rider has been struggling with injuries since his crash on Sunday, which saw him slip out of general classification contention.
Thomas, co-leading Team Sky in a Grand Tour for the first time, suffered shoulder and knee damage when a stationary police motorbike caused a crash late on during stage nine.
Thomas had been lying second overall at the time of the incident but lost over five minutes and slipped further back in stages 11 and 12.
