Time for a breatherpublished at 16:50 British Summer Time 9 July 2017
OK, that's just about it from me today.
I think everybody deserves a rest on Monday after what was a brutal stage nine across seven climbs, three of them hors categories.
I wondered for a while whether we were going to get the levels of drama that many had predicted but the stage delivered in the end.
The 5 live team out in France, OJ Borg, Simon Brotherton and Rob Hayles, will be on the 5 live Facebook page a little later delivering their verdict on the stage. That will also be available as a BeSpoke podcast.
Tuck in - and see you on Tuesday.

Geraint Thomas and Richie Porte weren't the only people to abandon today....
The glamorous life of a cyclist....

A good day for Froomepublished at 16:41 British Summer Time 9 July 2017
We're hearing that BMC are reporting that Richie Porte is going to be OK, which is obviously huge news. His crash looked awful.
We've also lost Geraint Thomas today and had something approaching the shake-up at the top of the yellow jersey standings that Chris Froome predicted.
Obviously Thomas and Porte have gone, Alberto Contador is five minutes off the pace after a poor day and Nairo Quintana is two minutes behind the leader.

Did I mention that tomorrow is a rest day? If ever a day off had been fully earned by a group of professional sportsmen....

Polka dot jerseypublished at 16:31 British Summer Time 9 July 2017
A silver lining for France's Warren Barguil, who missed out on a stage winner by an incredibly small margin, as he takes the polka dot jersey as the new leader of the King of the Mountains competition.

Broken collarbone for Gpublished at 16:29 British Summer Time 9 July 2017
Just had a message from 5 live producer Gemma Sterba, who tells me that Sky have confirmed Geraint Thomas has a broken collarbone.
A real shame for Thomas, who of course wore yellow at the start of the race.

stephengenockey: gutted for Dan Martin. Would have been sitting nicely in top 3 only for getting caught by Porte.
Dean Moffatt: glad I'm off work today, that's a proper cycle race right there! Need tomorrow off to recover!
'It was so slippery out there'published at 16:18 British Summer Time 9 July 2017
Dan Martin: "Richie lost it on one corner - it was so slippery, I guess the organisers got what they wanted. It was so slippery under the trees.
"I was very, very lucky to get away as lightly as I did."

Froome stays in yellowpublished at 16:16 British Summer Time 9 July 2017
Froome will get four bonus seconds for finishing third.
Fabio Aru is now second and Romain Bardet third.
After Aru tried to make a move on him when Froome had a mechanical earlier I imagine bantz will be at a premium.

Has Alberto Contador finished yet? Probably but he's not had a good day.
