That shot of Michael Matthews after his crash looks like he may well have lost some of his tattoo on his back. That will take some touching up in the coming months.

There are intermediate sprint points on offer for the sprinters before we finish up on the Mur de Huy. Andre Greipel, stage winner on Sunday, picks up 20 points as the first rider over the line in Havelange. John Degenkolb was second over the line. I'll bring you full results when I have them confirmed.

Matt Salisbury: Lefevre makes a valid point - organisers would do well to explain reason for neutralisation at the end of stage. #bbccycling, external

Chris Froome and Nairo Quintana are in the lead group. They are around 20 seconds clear of the bunch that contains the yellow jersey. Tony Martin is just three seconds behind Fabian Cancellara in the standings.

Astana and Tinkoff-Saxo are continuing to push the pace. Radio 5 live sports extra commentator Rob Hayles is looking for Tony Martin. If the German time trial specialist is in the lead group, then he could be looking at the yellow jersey in about 45 minutes.

Geraint Thomas takes it upon himself to drag his team across the gap and they make the juncture. Just like Sunday there is a small group of maybe 30 or 40 riders who have gone clear.

The bunch behind are losing touch and it's going to be tough for them to bring this back.

Racing has resumed and the pace is high. Tinkoff-Saxo, Astana and Movistar suddenly go clear. A slight crosswind playing a bit of havoc and Team Sky are distanced. Can they close this gap down before it gets significant?

Team Sky are lined up down the left-hand side of the road. Ian Stannard and Luke Rowe are leading the line with Geraint Thomas fourth wheel. Tinkoff-Saxo, the team of Alberto Contador and Peter Sagan are down the right-hand side of the road.

One man who is not happy with the neutralising of the race is Etixx - Quick-Step boss Patrick Lefevre.

He has been busy on Twitter, calling the decision to stop the race "strange behaviour" before adding: "I will remember this. Every crash we will waiting during the #tourdefrance" and he called it a "dangerous president" - I'm assuming he meant precedent.

Fabian Cancellara has been back to his team car again. The riders are going along at pedestrian pace but the Swiss is clearly in agony.

He fractured his lower back earlier in the season - at the E3 Harelbeke Spring Classic in March. So there would be no surprise if he's a little bit sore.

Simon Brotherton on radio commentary suggests that the race organisers had little option but to stop the race because the doctors were all tending the wounded and the safety of the other riders could not be guaranteed.

Matt Taggart: Would quite liked to have heard the convo between the ref, Sky, Movistar and Astana riders there.

Matthew J Woolley: Sky are ruthless after crashes. Organisers would be happy to let sportsmanship dictate the pace without them I think

Edu: Horrifying crash! Sets a dangerous precedent but cyclists' safety comes first! #bbccycling, external

This first ascent is 2.4km long. The riders crest the summit with race leader Fabian Cancellara right at the back of the peloton. He may well struggle to hold on to his yellow jersey. There is still no word as to when the racing will start again.

There is an intermediate sprint coming up shortly as well.

The riders are back pedalling but it will be a neutralised ascent of the first hill of this year's Tour de France - the Cote de Bohissau. The race director's red car is being flanked by several riders as they amble up the slope. There will be no points awarded in the King of the Mountain competition.

Tom Dumoulin, the young Dutch rider who was tipped to win the opening time trial stage, has abandoned the race. Britain's Simon Yates, who rides for Orica GreenEdge, also went down in the crash but he is fine to continue.

"When the crash happened there were a good 30 or 40 riders who went down. It looked like there was a big pylon where a lot of them ended up, hopefully none of them hit it.

"I don't know where the race goes from here to be honest. Are they going to restart it and neutralise it completely until the finish? Because the roads we are coming up to, we have the first climb of the Tour and then four more until the finish. It's tough terrain and it's not like these sore bodies can just roll into the finish. They still have a lot of work to do. It's an absolute catastrophe."

FDJ rider William Bonnet is having a neck brace fitted back at the site of the initial crash. He looks like he was the first man to hit the deck and others just went careering into him.

There is torn lycra and battered bodies everywhere. There are a few abandonments, among them, Simon Gerrans from Orica GreenEdge.

Christian Prudhomme is out of his team car and chatting with team directors. In many years of reporting on the Tour de France, I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before. The riders in the Cancellara crash were lucky not to pile too heavily into a lamp post at the side of the road.

Here comes Fabian Cancellara. I've just seen a replay of the crash. He went over his handlebars and his yellow bike cartwheeled into a hedge. The Swiss is on a replacement. He is still shaking his head as though trying to clear his senses. He is chewing on a water bottle, looking decidedly unwell. He shuffles through the cars and is at the back of the peloton, which is at a standstill.
