Gregg Coull: Oh, so Quintana does know how to attack...
Porte up therepublished at 15:41 British Summer Time 14 July 2016
3.8km to go
Richie Porte of BMC is quietly being tugged along by these Quintana breaks and is in a nice position.
The three in the lead are 6mins 30secs ahead and one of them will win the stage.
Poels pumpingpublished at 15:39 British Summer Time 14 July 2016
4.2km to go
Wout Poels is Team Sky's hero of the hour. He refuses to let Nairo Quintana out of his clutches and keeps Chris Froome in touch with the Colombian.

And up the road Thomas de Gendt has caught back up with Serge Pauwels and Daniel Navarro to make it a three-horse race.

4.8km to go
Mikel Landa can't keep up but Wout Poels of Team Sky can, he clings on to Quintana.
Dan Martin can't handle the pace and drops off.
Here goes Quintana again, just toying with his rivals.

Mikel Landa leads the response for Team Sky and they catch Alejandro Valverde. But just as they do, Nairo Quintana attacks!
Movistar tactics?published at 15:34 British Summer Time 14 July 2016
5.6km to go
Valverde is 1min 13secs behind Chris Froome in the yellow jersey race.
But not only that, he could offer a tactical marker up the road for Movistar team-mate Nairo Quintana to attack Froome's lead.
Valverde movespublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 14 July 2016
6km to go
The yellow jersey group are seven minutes behind the leaders.
There's plenty of movement and teams looking to attack from the peloton - here goes Jarlinson Pantana from IAM Cycling.
Nobody seems too fussed about him heading off.
But now goes Alejandro Valverde, past Pantana - that will wake everyone up.
Two fighting at the frontpublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 14 July 2016
6.7km to go
Sylvain Chavanel briefly dropped off the lead group, but has scrambled back into it.
Thomas de Gendt can't keep up with it either and there goes Daniel Teklehaimanot too.
That leaves just Daniel Navarro and Serge Pauwels duke-ing it out at the front.
Breakaway shrinkspublished at 15:25 British Summer Time 14 July 2016
8.8km to go
The road starts to narrow and the crowds get bigger and rowdier as the leaders march on.
The men group is down to six men - Navarro, Pauwels, Clement, Chavanel, De Gendt, Teklehaimanot and Lindeman.
In fact, as I type, Stef Clement drops off. The heat is on.

Greipel back in his boxpublished at 15:20 British Summer Time 14 July 2016
10.2km to go
That was fun.
Andre Greipel's burst for glory ends in him being gobbled up and spat out the back of the breakaway group.
In fairness, he could well have been trying to cause a bit of damage to that group for Lotto Soudal team-mate Thomas de Gendt.

Brian Conroy: No mention of Dan Martin? Is he out?
Nope. He's fine Brian. With Froome, Yates and Quintana in the peloton. Martin is, of course, 31secs behind Froome in the GC.

Tony Kibble: If the breakaway were to win at 9 min ahead, would that bring anyone into contention?
In short - no. None of the 13 men up the road are anywhere near the yellow jersey leaders overall.
Greipel's gumptionpublished at 15:14 British Summer Time 14 July 2016
13.6km to go
Erm. Andre Greipel is either feeling frisky today or has been told that there's a sprint finish up the road.
He's attacked off the front of the leading breakaway group.
Greipel is very much a sprinter - not a mug at climbing, granted, but this is not his wheelhouse.
Keep an eye on this.

That's because the Colombian ninja has been quietly tucked in the peloton, just following the pace.

Image source, Getty ImagesNairo Quintana, 31 seconds behind Chris Froome in the general classification, does not feel the change in the stage finish benefits him today. He would have liked the monster last climb to the summit.
The Colombian told told letour.com before the stage: “I would have preferred the stage to finish at the top because the climb suits me. But there are a lot of days left and a lot of mountains.”
