    Saying that, she's steadied it again. The gap is hovering at 6secs and they're running out of road...

  2. 2.4km to gopublished at 14:32

    Now everything goes up a notch. Van Der Breggen will probably be caught. The lead is six seconds now.

  3. 3.3km to gopublished at 14:31

    To be specific it is a 13-second gap. Acres of space in behind Anna van der Breggen. Can she hold on?

    Here we go, the gap is dropping...

  4. 4.3km to gopublished at 14:30

    Blimey - it's a huge gap she's got there. The peloton caught sleeping and they have just a few km to wake up.

  5. 5.3km to gopublished at 14:28

    Uphill to the Arc de Triomphe now, through the puddles and the slippy tarmac. Rablo Liv pick up the pace with Anna van der Breggen attempting to go clear.

  6. One lap to gopublished at 14:26

    7km remaining

    There's the bell. Last lap ladies.

    It really is horribly soggy. But the pace goes up a notch and there's no break away yet. It's all set up for a very crowded sprint finish.

    Mark Turner:  Difficult. Boardman, started the whole ball rolling. Wiggins, for success on track & road. Cavendish, greatest sprinter ever?

    Vanessa Winters:  Robert Millar - unsung KoM, @rachelatherton - inspiring women's MTB, Brad Wiggins - first British #MaillotJaune.

  8. 9.9km to gopublished at 14:22

    It's been a quiet race for Lizzie Armitstead so far, which is good news. The Brit crashed out last year and has managed to avoid trouble so far. She sits just off the front, where Belgium's Jolien D'Hoore looks well set too. Kirsten Wild is on her way back.

    The BBC's Sharon Fuller is with the British-based Matrix team today.

    "It's a race of attrition out there as Kim Le Court retires and is very pleased to be getting in the warm."

    Emma Johannson, the Swedish national champion and Olympic silver medallist, is seeing what the peloton is made of as stretches forward.

    There's a response as the rain picks up again.

    It's been a while since I've been to Paris. Is there always a log flume there?

    22.2km to go

    Make that five crashes. This might be the worst yet. At least half a dozen riders go down from the thick of the peloton and a few more practically jump off the bike to avoid hitting the carnage.

    Lizzie Williams is at the front of the peloton again but can't create a gap of tarmac behind her. Lizzie Armitstead is in there too with compatriot Hannah Barnes hiding in the midst too.

    The peloton is back together and whizzes around Norwegian corner - it's a bit like Dutch corner but less drunk.

    Shelley Olds must have broken a mirror under a ladder while looking at a black cat this morning. A few moments after falling, her chain is hanging off.

    The American looks around for her Ale Cipoolini team for a new bike - they are nowhere to be seen.
