Warren Barguil thought he'd won it - plenty of teams tweeted that he had - but the evidence of the photo finish suggests otherwise.

And now there are six - but no cat and mouse, this is about a race to the line, all about time with GC contenders in their wake on the road.

Not rating Romain Bardet's chances of staying away.

Less than 10 seconds.....can Romain Bardet hold on? The gap is coming down. Bardet looks over his shoulder and can see his pursuers.

Man, this looks like tough, tough work.
Nairo Quintana, dropped on the last climb, is trying to make up ground. He is in a group with Dan Martin, who was involved in the crash that ended Richie Porte's Tour.

It is cloudy, brooding weather. It has been a brutal stage that has claimed two big names in Geraint Thomas and Richie Porte.
Bardet currently third on GC. Can he hold out? He has a 14-second lead and 5km to go.

We are absolutely blasting to the finish line - all five of the group chasing Romain Bardet taking turns on the front.
6km to go.

Rigoberto Uran's gears have sort of given up on him - he is having to crank a massive one. That's got to hurt.
Romain Bardet has a 20-second advantage. This is top racing.

Behind Bardet is a group that comprises Chris Froome, Rigo Uran, Fabio Aru and Jakob Fuglsang.
Warren Barguil is with them too.

Romain Bardet - sniffing a 10-second stage bonus and a third Tour stage win - moves away from Warren Barguil with 11km to go.

Warren Barguil and Romain Bardet are together now - two Frenchmen keen for a stage win.
