Now everything goes up a notch. Van Der Breggen will probably be caught. The lead is six seconds now.
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...
Blimey - it's a huge gap she's got there. The peloton caught sleeping and they have just a few km to wake up.
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.
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.
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.

Conor McGrane: Nicole Cooke, Beryl Burton and Bradley Wiggins all for their versatility and multiple wins in different major races
Steohen Betley: Beryl Burton, Barry Hoban, Tom Simpson. #bbccycling It's not all about the tour. These were trailblazers.
Matt Taggart: Cav - In stage wins, third only to the Badger & the Cannibal. Froome - Because my wife made me & he seems like the sort of guy I'd have a beer (or suitable sports drink) with. Boardman - for memories of the '92 Olympics
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.
