Samuel Gallagher: I support @TeamSky, not as tribal as other sports but I was ecstatic for Kwiatkowski and Poels wins in the classics.

Seefour: Team sky! Reasons - philosophy, tactics, drama & @GeraintThomas86 always is up to something! Best team by far in #TDF2016

The peloton, with Chris Froome and his rivals inside, is 8mins 28secs behind the breakaway as they start moving up towards the category three Col de Mosses.

What's not to love?

Apologies, I didn't tell you who got to the top of Cote de Saanemoser first.

How remiss of me.

It was Rafa Majka, who added two points to his lead in the polka dots, with Peter Sagan second for one point.

That group of chasers has a few heavyweights among its number - Serge Pauwels, Thomas Voeckler, Julian Alaphilippe, Rui Costa.

Now we have a breakaway that's sticking.

Eleven riders are up the road - including green jersey man Peter Sagan, polka dot jersey man Rafa Majka and stage 15 winner Pantano Jarlinson.

Another eight riders are in pursuit - and the peloton is four minutes behind.

So, is it true that cycling fans have their heroes, but are not too fussed about supporting a team?

Tell us.

Do you have a team's jersey? Why do you like a particular team? Are you more interested in an individual rider? Or do you just love the sport?

If you like a team enough to have their jersey, send us a picture.

BBC Radio 5 live commentator

"You don't necessarily have fans of one team. The reason I like cycling is that people just like watching the sport.

"They have their heroes - they don't care who wins as long as they are entertained. I hope that doesn't change. I think we have enough tribal sports."

I'll let you know what happens atop Cote de Saanemoser, but in the mean time, can I point you towards a wonderful, bumper 90-minute cycling show on BBC Radio 5 live last night?

It's a great review of the Tour so far and has a few interviews to boot.

I'll bring you a few tidbits throughout the next few hours - but let me start with something Rob Hatch said in response to a chat about fans booing Team Sky.

It will be the focal point of our Get Involved this afternoon.

And here's the first climb of the day - it's a third category climb up to Cote de Saanermoser.

A 6.6km ascent at an average gradient of 4.8%.

The peloton bear down on it together - but here come some attacks for the king of the mountain points.

Rafal Majka, wearing the polka dots, looks to go but is reeled in. The increase in pace though has seen riders drop off the back.

It all started in Berne, Switzerland.

And it will end at Finhaut-Emosson, Switzerland.

We're getting the full Swiss treatment today.

And, of course, we'll take a detailed look at what to expect on today's stage 17, but first, here's what's happened so far.

We're on an initial flat stretch of what will become one for the climbers later on.

But we're 70km in and, while there have been attempts to pull away off the front, none of them have stuck and we have a full quota in the peloton.

Yes, if you missed the news yesterday, Britain's all-time highest stage winner at the Tour de France - and the second highest from anywhere - has quit the Tour to focus on his attempts to win an Olympic medal in the omnium.

He has worn the yellow jersey and won four stages already, so it's been a decent shift.

We'll chat about that, plus the other news to come from the rest day, in the coming minutes and hours.

Deep, deep down, we all knew it was coming.

Like a relationship that has long run its course, but neither of you saw the writing on the wall, we were all trying to convince ourselves that Mark Cavendish would stay with us until Paris.

We were blinded by romance, by a promise of a rendezvous along the Champs-Elysee.

We respect the decision. We all need to grow as people. 

But that doesn't make it any easier.

Welcome to the post-Cav era of the 2016 Tour de France.
