Alessandro di Marchi, who was trying to lead out Cannondale team-mate Sagan, was the eighth man over the line. Europcar's Bryan Coquard was next over, ahead of Greipel with Sagan giving up well before the line to go over in 11th.

Full round-up coming up shortly.

The leaders are not interested in exerting any energy in competing the sprint finish and they just roll over the line. I'll bring you the points breakdown in a moment because the sprinters are lighting the touch paper.

There are thousands lining the dual carriageway bypass as the leading seven head towards the intermediate sprint. The escapees will take the top points on offer but expect some movement in the peloton as the likes of Marcel Kittel, Andre Greipel and Peter Sagan scrap for some of the lesser points. The first 15 over the line pick up points.

The leaders are just taking that left-hand turn and it is rammed in the village. I think the Italian restaurant will stay intact because any rider who misses the corner will take out spectators instead.

"Silsden welcomes Le Tour", reads a big banner on the town's rugby pitch.

It's a bit of a blink and you'll miss it moment though. The leaders are already over the speed bumps and humpback bridge and on their way to he intermediate sprint on the bypass.

It's a steep little drag up over the moor but it's not a categorised climb and I don't mind admitting my heart is racing a little more quickly than normal. Gutted I can't be there. But this is the next best seat.

The riders will have to be a little cautious as they bomb down Cringles because there is a left-hand corner at the bottom and if you overcook it, there's a wall and window of a rather nice Italian restaurant waiting to collect you.

It's all looking rather familiar as the peloton races through Addingham and hangs a left, following the signpost for Silsden. Our leaders are already on the moorside and there are hundreds more people lining the hillside. Where has everyone come from?

Once they reach the top, it's a speedy descent down Cringles hill and into Silsden.

Those little incidents have slowed the peloton slightly and our leaders have an advantage approaching three minutes as they speed downhill. I've not mentioned them for a while, so here's a quick reminder.

Perrig Quemeneur (Europcar), Matthew Busche (Trek), Cyril Lemoine (Cofidis), David de la Cruz (NetApp), Armindo Fonseca (Bretagne), Blel Kadri (AG2R) and Bart De Clercq (Lotto-Belisol).

The riders have a rather leisurely freewheel down towards Bolton Abbey now, where they will take a left and head across to Addingham. The race went through the village on Saturday on its way from Ilkley to Skipton. Today, they will swing left off the high street and head over the moorside to my childhood home village of Silsden.

There are a couple of spills in the middle of the peloton and Simon Gerrans, the man taken out by Mark Cavendish at the finish on Saturday, is one of the riders involved. Thankfully the pace of the peloton was not too high and everyone is soon back up and racing.

Cyril Lemoine of the Cofidis team is the keenest to take the single point on offer for the first person to reach the summit. More points to come though, with eight more climbs. There is an intermediate sprint first though - on the road from Steeton to Keighley.

In Tour terms, this is a mere bump in the road but the Yorkshire fans are turning it into a mountain-top finish. There is barely space for the seven to squeeze through, never find the 190 further down the road.

I was following a number of people random tandems up the Cote du Blubberhouses last Sunday. It's fair to say that even though there's only one on each of their bikes, our seven out front are going slightly quicker. In fact, they have opened up a lead of more than three minutes as they hit the steepest section of the slope. It's a deceptive drag to the top.

Scrawling messages on the route is all part of Le Tour fun - and this youngster has flaked out on the Yorkshire tarmac a la Mark Cavendish. That's one step further from your average 'Go Froomy' message...

Hundreds of fans on a roller-coaster section of road leading to Blubberhouses. Thankfully everyone appears to have heeded the warnings of Gary Verity (see 11:58) and are staying well back off the road and giving the riders plenty of space. A beautiful part of the county, although, to be fair, there's not many bits that aren't.

Those of you who were reading the live text yesterday will have been following the trials and tribulations of my wife's six-hour journey, via train, from Manchester to Harrogate. She almost gave up when faced with a three-hour wait at Leeds train station. But she persevered and ended up 50m beyond the finish line. My eldest son came away with a terrific memento as Movistar's Jose Joaquin Rojas, who finished ninth, gave him a special souvenir. You want legacy Yorkshire? It's right here. He now wants to be a pro bike rider.

There is one Cannondale rider pacing the front of the peloton. He has the whole Giant-Shimano squad following him. Cannondale are looking to set up the finish for their man Peter Sagan so are keen not to let escaped seven get too far clear - their lead is still hovering around the 2'30" mark.

German Kittel looking relaxed says "Bonjour" to the camera as it's poked into his face. "It's a beautiful day and I'm all good," he adds in perfect English. He knows that his time in the race leader's yellow jersey is going to be brief.

Paul Rayner, via text: The atmosphere on Cote de Blubberhouses, is incredible. There's a bagpiper leading the celebration from the top of the rocks with people and Yorkshire flags all around the hillside. Every single vehicle receiving a massive cheer as it goes up the hill.
