ANDY Schleck is missing from RadioShack's Tour Down Under-winning team's presentation after abandoning Stage 6 and riding back to his hotel.

Schleck had a problem with his chain early in the 90km stage through the city and was unable to rejoin the peloton.

After the race his teammates were trying to contact him after they clinched the winning teams' classification.

They are due to be presented on stage shortly but Schleck is nowhere to be seen.

The team's press officer confirmed Schleck was back at the team hotel.

The 2010 Tour de France champion was in 127th place going into today's final stage.

The stage was won by Andre Greipel as Tom Slagter clinched the overall title for Blanco Pro Cycling.
