Chris Froome regains yellow jersey from Fabio Aru
Aru caught out at end of stage
Froome has lead of 19 seconds
Michael Matthews wins uphill sprint to win stage 14
Katusha's Reto Hollenstein has successfully bridged the gap and so there are now five out in the breakaway. And of course, he is not a team-mate of Fabio Aru. A momentary brain fade earlier.
So, the five with a lead of almost three minutes are Hollenstein, Thomas Voeckler, Thomas de Gendt, Timo Roosen and Maxime Bouet

Spent the morning spinning against the tide of mamils (& mafils) out practising on the Leith Hill and Box hill for the ride100. Good luck to them all! It's great to see the explosion of participation in road cycling since the Olympics!

BMC and Sunweb are up at the front of the peloton, controlling the pace.
For BMC and Sunweb read Greg van Avermaet and Michael Matthews. We might be hearing alot more about these two today.
Sky are up there too. But then they always are.

Make that a lead of two and a half minutes.
Katusha's Reto Hollenstein is trying to join them. He is 90 seconds behind.

Yep, they lead by almost a minute already and all the chatter between the key figures at the front of the peloton seems to indicate the front four will be out on their own for some time.
Not a Steve Cummings day then.
The other three in the break are Lotto Soudal's Thomas de Gendt, LottoNL-Jumbo's Timo Roosen and Fortuneo-Vital Concept's Maxime Bouet are the other three in the break, which the peloton seems happy to let go.
The flag drops (slightly late), the stage starts for real and, as seems standard, Thomas Voeckler leads a break straight off the front.
Incredible feline action.

TV pictures of Toulouse indicating that I really need to go there on holiday one year.
The flag drop is scheduled to take place at 12:20 BST.

Image source, Tour de FranceThis will be a tough stage on tiring legs with the road going predominantly uphill for the final 100km.
A breakaway could succeed here but it's more likely that a puncheur will prevail on the uphill drag to the finish as Chris Froome and his rivals enjoy a less hectic day.
Of course, for those riders now only able to stammer out the words hors categorie, today provides some blessed relief.
Today's stage - the 14th of this year's race - takes us from Blagnac to Rodez. It is a hilly 181.5kms but lacks the brutality of the previous days.
There's a sprint, two category three climbs and a downhill finish. Relatively speaking, it's a walk in the park.
Christopher M. Selby on twitter: Todays profile has Greg Van Avermaet for BMC written all over it with a Classics feel. Kwiatowski also if SKY want to "race".
And what about Sunweb? Won't they fancy Aussie Michael Matthews?
The slightly uphill at the end could suit a punchy sprinter.
The riders are slowly rolling out of Blagnac waiting for the flag to drop and the racing to start for real. More details on today's stage coming your way shortly.
Sunny, bit windy.
I don't know about you, but I sensed a great deal of joy after the events in the Pyrenees blew the Tour wide open.
I mean, just 48 hours ago the Sky train was looking its usual impregnable self. Rider after rider, sat on the front, faces without expression, control without emotion.
That's all changed now. We live in a new world. One of hope - hope that the next week will serve more thrilling races.
More attacks.
More ambition.
More pain.
More men slipping off the back, their tyres stuck in treacle, their dreams sliding backwards down the mountain.

Not been on the Tour for a couple of days. Anything happened?
