Marcel Kittel wins photo finish

Stage seven: Troyes - Nuits-Saint-Georges, 213.5km
BBC Radio 5 live commentary - online only
The escapees have just reached a fork in the road. Nuits-Saint-Georges was off to the right, with the number 16 next to it.
They, of course took the left fork. They've got 57km to go and there are no shortcuts when you've got this many television cameras on you.

According to Le Tour's website: When Dylan van Baarle reached the top of Cote d'Urcy, he clocked 300km in a breakaway since the start of the Tour de France in Dusseldorf, having also raced clear on stage two.
However, even if he reaches the finish in front today, he won't equal Frederik Backaert's 391km in two breakaways, on stages three and six.

We are anticipating the crosswind to hit any time from around 30km to go.
I'm going to need your help with this one. #bbccycling if you know?
Fortuneo-Vital Concept rider Maxime Bouet jumps out of his saddle and few stomps on the pedals later he is cresting the summit first.
The lead increases a little, going out to two minutes, 45 seconds. But with 65km of racing left, don't expect them to stay clear all the way to Nuits-Saint-Georges.
Dylan van Baarle is leading the escapees up the Cote d'Urcy. It's not particularly steep and you can tell that by the fact that back in the peloton Andre Greipel is still up near the front!
Who fancies the King of the Mountains point on top of the hill?
I don't mind a few more of these. Although surely Fabio Aru cannot possibly look like any more people? #bbccycling

Just 4km from the category four hill that is, bizarrely, not even the highest point on today's race.
Both Simon Brotherton and Rob Hayles think the wind could split the peloton before we reach the end of the race.
They are in agreement that we will get another sprint finish but there may be several bunches of riders spread down the road.
The leaders are two minutes clear.

Primoz Roglic is not having a particularly happy day. The Lotto NL Jumbo rider has just crashed for the second time in about 20 minutes.
He came a cropper in the feed zone, getting his musette caught up in his spokes and he's just collided with a Direct Energie rider.
A nice rip in the backside of his shorts and a bit of road rash peeking through.
The peloton is not waiting for him though and he's got a long, lonely ride into the finish.
BBC Radio 5 live's OJ Borg is out filming the next instalment of his Tour de France A-Z. He's reached D. He tells me "it's muggy" out there today. That video will be with us soon.
Tonight's BeSpoke at Le Tour will be broadcast on BBC Radio 5 live between 20:30-21:00 BST. Don't worry if you miss it, there will be a podcast available and I'll link out of it in tomorrow's live text as well.

20km or so to the day's solitary climb - the category four Cote d'Urcy which is another tiddler at 2.5km with an average graident of 4.2%.
Hi Ben,
It just wouldn't be allowed by the rest of the riders!

I'm sure we all wish Italian cyclist Claudia Cretti well. The Italian is in an induced coma in hospital after crashing during the Giro Rosa on Thursday.
In light of this news, I'm going to shelve the 'are you faster than Demare' chat. Just doesn't feel quite right. Thanks for all you've sent in.

Sonny Colbrelli of the Bahrain-Merida team is the first over for fifth. Michael Matthews was going full gas there but couldn't make an impression.
Looked like Alexander Kristoff over in sixth. The green jersey of Arnaud Demare picked up some minor points, trailing over about 10th overall.
Full confirmation and points when I get them.
