Pinot saw his hopes of Giro d'Italia podium finish dashed on Saturday's penultimate stage.
The Frenchman began the stage in third overall, but suffered a spectacular collapse and later withdrew from the race.
The 27-year-old started the 12 km-long climb to the Saint-Pantaleon pass among the main peloton, but crested the summit 21 minutes later and finished the stage 45 minutes in arrears.
He spent the night under observation in hospital.
