As a strung-out field of more than 170 riders swept through a long curve into the finish, the Dane and five others piled into the spectator barriers.
Michaelsen made it to the finish line on the team spare because his bike was damaged. As he had fallen inside the final kilometre he was credited with the same time as the winner, Germany's Marcel Wust.
So, too, were the other victims of the crash. Only Italians Gabriele Balducci and Mirko Rossato needed treatment for slight injuries.
Wust outsprinted Czech Jan Svorada and Italian Fabrizio Guidi after a five-and-threequarter-hour slog through the Algarve countryside to this holiday complex on the Atlantic coast.
His victory did not disturb the top overall standings where Michaelsen opened his advantage to six seconds over Italian Claudio Chiappucci.
Michaelsen had earned a deduction of two seconds for taking second place in one of the day's three intermediate sprints.
Similar successes enabled Frenchman Laurent Jalabert and Italian Angelo Canzonieri to close to within a second of Chiappucci on overall time.
Frenchman Jacky Durand, noted for his great escapes in bike racing, led alone for 174 of the 225.3 kilometres. After holding a lead of more than 15 minutes he was eventually reeled in 30 kilometres from Vilamoura.
Italian Mario Cipollini, who has held the leader's jersey in the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France this year, quit the race before Sunday's start in Evora.
He had developed a high temperature after finishing Saturday's stage at Estoril more than 12 minutes in arrears.
