The weather seems to be improving, certainly the thunderstorms have yet to materialise.
The breakaway is still more than five minutes clear, with a 20 second or so lead for Michal Golas, who almost gets it wrong taking a fast corner on his descent from Sauveterre. Speedy corrective action ensues.

Quote MessageMur de Huy? Tick. Mur de Bretagne? Tick. Mur de Mende? Well, they do not call it that, but they could, and we are about to see why. Its actual name is the Cote de la Croix Neuve, although it used to be called Montee Jalabert after Mende's most famous cycling son, Laurent Jalabert. It starts steep, then gets very steep for 2km, then completely levels out when the road reaches the airstrip at the top of the hill. The finish line is on the runway and would make for a great bunch sprint between Mark Cavendish and co - shame none of them will be able to get up the climb quick enough to contest it.

Image source, ReutersMichal Golas still on his own - but not by far from the chasing 19-man breakaway.
They have the category four Cote de Chabrits and the category two Cote de la Croix Neuve before the finish.
Team Sky still on the front of the main group. How often have I written that today?

Matthieu Ladagnous was first over the Cote de Sauveterre and has now had a little dig off the front. He is quickly reeled in and Michal Golas of Etixx - Quick-Step has a go.
The main group are now approaching the top of the summit.

The 20 breakaway riders are still together, approaching the top of the Cote de Sauveterre. FDJ are still at the front driving the pace. Their lead is five and a half minutes over the main field, which is decreasing in size.
Some of the sprinters have decided to conserve their energy.
A luxurious lifestylepublished at 15:15
I could not help but laugh when I saw the tweet below from Mark Cavendish. Imagine what sort of injury you could pick up if you dropped a boiling hot cup of tea all over your lycra?
I kind of assume that all sports stars live a luxurious lifestyle all the time. But then again, I imagine that could get expensive when you've got a big cycling team to look after for a month, plus support staff etc etc

Some of the field are starting to slip off the back of the main group - including Andre Greipel, who has cuts on his arms and legs after taking a tumble earlier - as they climb the category two Cote de Sauveterre.

President Hollande is at the race today. He is no fool. This has got to be France as its best, just stunning.
Team Sky are still at the front of the chasing group - with Ian Stannard cranking his way through an incredible amount of work.
More on Morabitopublished at 14:49
A little more on Steve Morabito, who withdrew after crashing earlier today. Turns out he has a broken collarbone.
He will have an operation on Sunday. Good luck with the recovery.
Geraint Thomas's guide to stage 14published at 14:45
Image source, Tour de FranceTeam Sky's Geraint Thomas has been taking us through the Tour stage by stage.
Of today, Thomas told us: "It's a really tough finish. It's a 3km ascent at 10%, and you certainly know about it when you reach the bottom.
"For Team Sky, it's all about making sure it's the right riders in the breakaway. As long as there's nobody who could compete for the overall lead you can let them go.
"It's still a dangerous little finish though, and you could still see one of the yellow jersey contenders looking to chip off a bit of time with an attack."
50km to gopublished at 14:42
Image source, ReutersThere are some interesting names in the breakaway. Peter Sagan, 15 times the bridesmaid, is probably desperate to go one better than he managed on Friday.
But there are some useful climbers with him who might fancy the short, sharp finish - Romain Bardet perhaps, or Thibaut Pinot. The French could probably do with a stage win right now. Rogoberto Uran Uran might also fancy his chances.
The gap is now six minutes.

Riding on the rhinopublished at 14:37
Chris Froome has the image of a rhino on his bike.
Well, let's face it with some of the questions that have come his way (and the same question numerous times for that matter) during this race, he probably needs a skin as thick as one.
