Blimey, what a day!
That's all from a dramatic return of the Tour de France following the first rest day as Jonas Abrahamsen wins stage 11.
What's in store for the mountains tomorrow?!
Ben Healy held on to the overall race lead so can the Irish rider secure the yellow jersey for at least another day? Join us from about 12:30 BST to find out.
Image source, ReutersMore from Jonas Abrahamsen: "I spent 10 days in the mountain jersey last year and wasn't able to win a stage. It was my dream to win a Tour stage so to do it today is so nice.
"It's so nice to be with a team from the start in 2017 and see the team growing every year. I'm so proud of the team. They believed in me to come to the Tour de France after that crash and now to win a stage, it's so nice."
Image source, EPAJonas Abrahamsen added: "[Mauro Schmid] was so strong today, right from the start. It was so difficult to pass him but I was thinking 'I have to win in the Tour de France, I have to won this stage'. Then I got a wheel in front and it was so nice.
"I know I have a pretty good sprint. I was out [in the breakaway] for a long time, from metre zero I was sprinting, so I had to be smart, not to go over the limit. In the end, I was hoping to take him in the sprint.
"We were never more than two-and-a-half minutes [ahead of the peloton], so it was so hard to get the gap.
On Mathieu van der Poel: "He's a very strong rider so we had to push him very hard all day, I'm so happy."

Image source, EPAStage winner Jonas Abrahamsen: "I broke my collarbone four weeks ago, in the Tour of Belgium, and I was crying in the hospital because I thought I wouldn't ride in the Tour de France.
"Every day I did everything I could to come back and now I'm sat here with a Tour de France stage win. It's amazing."
Jonas Abrahamsen, 29, claims the first Grand Tour stage win of his career.
And it's the first Tour de France victory for Norwegian team Uno-X Mobility.

Mathieu van der Poel crosses seven seconds later in third.
Van der Poel's still a few seconds adrift. The Dutch star has left it too late.
Van der Poel brings the gap down to 10 seconds. Can he close the gap in time?
Pogacar's crash was outside the safety zone so he wouldn't have got the same time.
The GC contenders have sat up though, allowing Pogacar to get back in.
Abrahamsen and Schmid are 20 seconds clear of Van der Poel.
Replays show that Pogacar's wheel overlapped another and he skidded along the tarmac.
He's swiftly back in the saddle though.
Pogacar reacts to moves by Vingegaards and Jorgenson, but then on the descent he goes down.
Kevin Vauquelin attacks his GC rivals on the Cote de Pech climb, followed by Jonas Vingegaard.
Jonas Abrahamsen grabs the two mountain points on offer over the Cote de Pech, with Mauro Schmid claiming the other.
Mathieu van der Poel trails by 25 seconds and flies down the descent.
We're on to the Cote de Pech climb, and Mathieu Burgaudeau drops Quinn Simmons and Fred Wright.
Mathieu van der Poel then attacks further back.
Jonas Abrahamsen and Mauro Schmid attacked on the descent of the Cote de Vielle-Toulouse to go 20 seconds lear of Fred Wright, Quinn Simmons and Mathieu Burgaudeau.
Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert, Axel Laurance, Arnaud de Lie, and Davide Ballerini are 30 seconds back.
Speaking before today's stage, Ben Healy was asked about the finish: "It's kind of like an Amstel-style finish today I think. Luckily I'm OK in the Ardennes and I think the real key point is this last little kicker. We had a look at it yesterday and it's pretty hard, that's for sure.
"But it comes with 9km to go and there's always time to repair if something goes wrong, thankfully, so yeah, we'll be doing everything to hold onto this yellow for just one more day."
Jonas Abrahamsen takes the mountain point over the Cote de Vieille-Toulouse, with Mauro Schmid on his wheel.
That was the fourth and final category four climb of the day. Just one category three left before the peloton comes back into Toulouse.
Quinn Simmons attacks from the chase group on the climb up the Cote de Vieille-Toulouse and is within nine second of the leaders.
