Just seeing that Mark Cavendish has finished in a group so it looks like he won't be over time and ejected from the race. Good lad.

But it's another tough one tomorrow. Until then, goodbye. 

Final word to Chris Froome: "With tomorrow being an uphill finish, it was in the back of my mind that not many could make a big difference so going over the top today, I thought why not?

"Having fun is what the sport is all about. Taking a gamble. I've not won a stage like that before. It felt like a bit of a risk but it paid off."

We are still waiting to hear if Mark Cavendish has come in. If he does, under time, then he will hold the green jersey for an almost clean sweep by British riders.

To confirm Chris Froome is in yellow, Adam Yates is in white and second in the general classification, Brits have won five stages of eight and Cavendish is hoping to hold the green jersey.

Not a bad day's work for all concerned. 

More from Team Sky principal David Brailsford on ITV4: "Nairo Quintana is the biggest threat this time, so in a race like this you have to take every second we can.

"The descent shows a lot about Chris himself. He made the decision and when he sees the opportunity, he takes it and he never ceases to amaze. That's why he's won two Tours de France.  

"We aren't scared of putting our necks on the line and we did the work when others decided not to. If they don't want to take responsibility, fine. We will. If you want to win the Tour de France you have to step forward. So it's a nice start." 

Team Sky principal David Brailsford on ITV4: "When people start thinking you're predictable and conservative and everything else, you always have the element of surprise. We thought we'd use that this year. For Sergio Henao to attack when he did, that shook things up and it we had an opportunity from there. We get criticism for being poor downhill so why not?" 

Chris Froome in yellow, Adam Yates in second, and the white jersey. Britsh cycling fans, suck it up!

Seems that the Chris Froome attack even surprised his team principal Sir David Brailsford. He was heard uttering "You didn't see that coming..." as Froome raced to the finish. 

More from Chris Froome on ITV4: "It definitely wasn’t planned, I went to the top and thought 'why not'? I knew the descent was long and fast and I had some big gears on so it was in the back of my mind. I heard on the radio I had a gap so I just went for it to the finish. I spent a lot of energy there but everyone pedalled fast on the descent.

"We do mess round in training racing each other downhill sometimes, so that came in handy, but thanks to my team - they rode so hard all day and the peloton was on the limit."

Chris Froome still doesn't yet know if he's in yellow. You are Chris! 

He said: "It was a lot of fun really. I thought I’d give it a go and see what happens. It was like old-school bike racing. It was fun. Maybe I spent a bit too much [energy], we’ll see tomorrow. 

"Twenty seconds is not a huge amount but I’ll take every second I can get. I don’t know if it was enough to go into the jersey. I feel like I owed something to the team today."

Well what do make of all that? British riders have won five stages out of eight, hold three of the jerseys and are frankly ripping it up. 

The only one missing from the full set is the polka dot, but that belongs to Tinkoff's Rafal Majka. 

Spoil sport!

Going ahead this early puts pressure on his team-mates. But Chris Froome intended to go out on the attack - on a descent of all places. Incredible.

We've just had confirmation that Adam Yates has finished more than seven seconds behind Chris Froome so the defending champion wins the stage and will wear the yellow jersey. 

Yates will still wear the white jersey and if Mark Cavendish comes in in time, he will wear the green jersey.

British riders are dominant. 

Well done Chris Froome, a brilliant and unexpected win. What a way to do it. His advantage was seven seconds over Adam Yates, we will have to see who is in yellow but it will be a Briton.

Chris Froome pushes over the line, the stage win is his but where is Adam Yates?

Chris Froome is still pushing to eke out a lead on Nairo Quintana. Push, push, push. 

Chris Froome is into the last kilometre, under the inflatable safely and pushes to the line.

A fifth British win in eight Tour de France stages in imminent.

It's absolutely bonkers. I can't take any more of this. This race has blown apart.
