The speed appears to be picking up at the front of the peloton - there are 20km remaining and the lead of the three-man breakaway is now down to just over a minute.
Expect that to keep falling.

It is shaping up to be a good day all round for MTN-Quebeka.....

Former GB cyclistQuote MessageWell done - what a great ride by Daniel Teklehaimanot. Once he kicked for the line it was never in doubt that he would cross first - the single point enough to give him the jersey. MTN-Quebeka have got what they came for.
Polka dot jerseypublished at 16:15
We've just gone past the final category four climb of the day - and the good news is that Daniel Teklehaimanot has crossed in first place to take the polka dot jersey.
He has become the first Eritrean to take the jersey in the history of the race.
He looks well pleased and gives a thumbs-up sign to the TV cameras afterwards.
Teklehaimanot, who has been away in this break for most of the day, now has three points with previous leader Joaquim Rodriguez on two.

Thomas Voeckler has been reeled back in by the peloton. There are 32km to go.
It is a lovely warm day as the riders continue on the road to Le Havre. Today can be doing nothing to harm tourism in Normandy.
The lead is at one minute 20 seconds.

Quote MessageI have news of Alejandro Valverde's tumble...it happened just after he had stopped for a wee. Blame the bib shorts. And it is good to see Michael Matthews getting a lot of love for his stoic refusal to quit. A few directors have been telling me that it has been hard to watch his suffering from the team cars as they have driven by. As their boss Matt White told me, Orica - GreenEdge certainly "copped it bad" in that pile-up on Monday. They only have six men left in the race and half of those are wounded. Sunday's team time trial could become a very long one.

Oops, a few riders got it wrong at a corner and BMC's Damiano Caruso took a tumble. It is not like yesterday's slippery pile-up action though and he is soon back on his bike.
Staying clear?published at 16:00
The big story right now concerns whether the three-man breakaway can stay clear to the final category four climb - worth one point - at Cote du Tilleul.
They were about 45 seconds clear after the sprint but that time has quickly climbed back to beyond two minutes.
Thomas Voeckler has gone off the front of the group and is a minute down the road from the breakaway.
If the breakaway does stay clear and if MTN-Quebeka's Daniel Teklehaimanot crosses the line first then he will take the polka dot jersey.
They are inside 10km from that climb.

The battle for fourth place is contested - with double stage winner Andre Greipel finishing sixth.
It means that in terms of the green jersey standings Andre Greipel has 161pts, Peter Sagan 128pts and Mark Cavendish 94pts.

The lead is just above one minute now. The three men in the breakaway are first through the intermediate sprint, Perrig Quémeneur first over the line.

I have to say, that looks very, very painful. Is he still smiling?
Where is the best place in the peloton?published at 15:37

Former GB cyclistQuote MessageGenerally speaking, up near the front but not on the front as that is the hardest place, where you are working 30-40% harder to go at the same speed. If you sit in the wheels and are protected from the wind, that is the best place to be. In the top 20 or 30 riders - that is generally the best, it is safer, there is a little bit more vision and you can keep your momentum through the bends. The further back you are the more potential there is for crashes.

The lead is now less than three minutes. More camera shots of simply superb coastline. #jealous
We're not far from the day's intermediate sprint.
Tough guys - part IIpublished at 15:30
We've already seen one Aussie - Adam Hansen - heavily strapped up.
Michael Matthews had a heavy crash on stage three that he reckons left him struggling to breathe overnight.
Yesterday he was out the back and looking like toast. Not so, the 24-year-old battled back and took his place on the start line today. Before the riders left Abbeville he reflected on the pain. We'll ignore the fort bit.
By the way, his red numbers are because he was awarded the most aggressive rider award for his courage in hanging on yesterday.
Taking your timepublished at 15:27
As Simon Brotherton points out, there are still more than 60km remaining today. The peloton is trundling along at an average speed of 37km an hour (I know, I know, I can't either).
We're looking at the best part of 17:00 BST by the time they cross the line.
Concerned about Cav?published at 15:25
Cav's team are letting him down - his leadout train isn't working. Renshaw is there, but there should be a line of at least 5 bossing the front of the field in the final few KMs. Martin himself said he dropped off yesterday as his job was to protect yellow. He dropped off far too early.
