Sheffield-born Olympic heptathlete champion Jessica Ennis-Hill:, external Wow the crowds around Yorkshire for the Tour de France are fantastic!! Heading into best city soon - Sheffield!

Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd is where we are heading next. I love Hebden Bridge, one of my favourite towns in Yorkshire. If you've never been, you should. It's a beautiful ride over the top of the moor before dropping down into the town.

We have 108km of today's stage remaining.

BBC Look North reporter Dave Edwards:, external "Latest from police, High Bradfield, Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd are full. Stewards are directing people away. These are public places so can't be 'sealed off' but the advice is they're full and you just won't be able to see anything.

"Extra stewards are being drafted in at Holme Moss, where around 60,000 spectators are expected."

The lead is fluctuating because of the effort, or lack of it, put in by the peloton. They don't appear to want drag back the escaped seven just yet. The danger if they do is that other riders will attack and there is more chance of a late attack succeeding because the riders will have been sheltering in the peloton all afternoon and will therefore be fresher.

The timing will be crucial today though, given the 33% gradient on Jenkin Road on the outskirts of Sheffield.

Lots of Yorkshire, British and French flags flying in the breezy conditions, a couple of Bradford City ones too, which is always nice to see. The sun is out and several spectators have stripped off to mankini level, which is never nice to see. The peloton reaches the summit 3'10" behind the leaders.

Perrig Quemeneur does indeed reach the summit first to collect two points, while Cyril Lemoine, the man who took the first point of the day at Blubberhouses, takes second place to claim the other point on offer.

Oxenhope Moor is rammed. The leaders are 1km from the summit and Europcar's Perrig Quemeneur jumps out the back of the group, determined to take the two points on offer for reaching the top first. The others don't feel like chasing him.

And all that means that Marcel Kittel, who picked up 45 points for winning yesterday's stage, will remain top of the green jersey classification for now. It could all change later if Peter Sagan can win the stage.

Here we go on the second categorised climb of the day - the Cote du Oxenhope Moor. It's a 3.1km ascent with an average gradient of 6.4%. Two points for the first man to the summit. One point for the second. Nowt for the rest.

BBC Look North's Phil Bodmer at Holme Moss:, external It's mad on the Moss! How can anyone count how many here? Thirty minutes to caravan, two hours peloton.

The terrain has to be sapping the energy of the riders. There are a lot of uncategorised climbs to negotiate. BBC columnist Geraint Thomas told us that his Team Sky squad had been to look at the final 100km or so of today's stage last week, to get an idea of the rolling nature of the route.

Most of the riders have been to have a look at this stage. Alberto Contador, arguably Chris Froome's biggest rival for the overall race win, didn't. Will he be made to pay later?

And here comes the peloton riding eight-or-nine abreast as they approach the cobbles and then squeeze down to four as they tackle the Pave du Haworth. All are safely up and over the top and heading over to Stanbury before tuning left and heading to Oxenhope and up the climb.

This is one steep incline. And on cobbles. The crowds are staying respectfully clear as the septet out front climb up in single file. And there's the pub at the top where I had my 21st a good few years back.

The leaders are holding on to a two-minute lead as they head up to Haworth. Are they going up the cobbled street? I hope so and we'll find out soon enough as they turn right towards the picturesque village.

The seven out front are slogging hard on the climb and they are going up the cobbles. Brilliant.

Conrad, Cote de Ripponden, via text: Hope the riders pay homage to the OAPs of Holmfirth and swap their bikes for a Compo-style ride in a bath instead.

We are just over one-third distance on today's stage as the riders head through, up and out of Keighley, heading towards the Bronte country of Haworth before tackling the Cote du Oxenhope - a category three ascent.

Fancy listening to a few tunes while you follow our coverage of Le Tour? Luckily for you, 2012 champion - and self-confessed Mod - Bradley Wiggins is sharing his love of music with 'The Modfather' Paul Weller on BBC Radio 6 Music right now.

Blel Kadri was the first over the sprint line from the escaped bunch of seven. He won't be too bothered about collecting 20 points though. Geraint Thomas's stage-by-stage guide has the full run-down of points on offer for those trying to wrestle the green jersey from defending champion Sagan.

The 14 riders following Kadri over the line will add to their points tally.
