Stage 19: Embrun to Salon-de-Provence
Longest stage of the race at 222.5 km
Only two stages remaining in race
And of course there will be a full live text and report on Saturday's stage 20 time trial in Marseille.
The report of today's action is building here.
Look out for the BeSpoke podcast, available later tonight, too.
But from me, for now, farewell.
Catch you tomorrow.
A reminder that before stage 20 gets under way tomorrow, the second and final stage of La Course by Le Tour will take place - a 22.5km 'chase' in Marseille.
The top 19 riders from Thursday's first stage will set out according to the time gaps from that stage.
Stage one winner Annemiek van Vleuten will be out first on course, followed 43 seconds later by Britain's Lizzie Deignan.
We'll have a full report of the action tomorrow.
Quick confirmation of no changes in the top 10 on general classification and these are the time gaps they will take into Saturday's 22.5km time trial in Marseille:

No drama whatsoever as Team Sky and Chris Froome roll across the line in Salon-de-Provence, over 12 mintues behind stage-winner Edvald Boasson Hagen.
Froome retains the yellow jersey and will take a 23-second lead over Romain Bardet into Saturday's time trial in Marseille, with Rigoberto Uran six seconds further adrift.
Barring a major upset, expect the Briton to build on that advantage over the 22.5km stage, after which he will just have to stay upright into Paris to win his fourth Tour title.
1km to go for the peloton now.
Team Sky will lead Froome all the way to the line.
The Team Sky-led peloton have 3km to go to the finish.
A proper day off for Chris Froome. Well, relatively. He's still had to ride 222.5km but it's been stress-free.
The peloton, including yellow jersey Chris Froome, are still not quite onto the streets of Salon-de-Provence, just rolling home on a quiet day.

A long wait, made longer by all those near misses in sprint finishes earlier in this year's race.
No sprint needed for him today as the Norwegian provides a perfect example of his vast talents.
A huge day for Team Dimension Data, too. They lost Mark Cavendish early, it never quite came off for Steve Cummings but they have their stage now. And in some style.
Nikias Arndt did hang on for second, while Jens Keukeleire won the sprint behind for third.
Image source, Getty ImagesWhat a ride from the Norwegian.
Rightly identified as the favourite to win from the breakaway but he did it unexpected fashion, not just content to wait for the sprint but riding the others off his wheel instead.
He's round both.
This is going to Boasson Hagen.
Two sharps turns in this finale.
Boasson Hagen just needs to negotiate them safely.
Boasson Hagen is inside the final km. Arndt still chasing but running out of road.
2km to go
Why wait for the sprint when you're this strong?
The Norwegian has just ridden Arndt off his wheel and has 2km to the finish.
Arndt goes and Boasson Hagen is strong enough to go up to him.
The Dimension Data rider picked the right way round a roundabout and caught everyone, except Arndt, out.
Panic now.
This group just can't get rid of Boasson Hagen.
No one seems confident of beating him in the sprint.
Thomas de Gendt hits the front to bring back Jens Keukeleire.
Orica pair Keukeleire and Albasini will just keep going 1-2 1-2 1-2 until the finish now.
If they have the legs.
The Orica duo are working together to rid themselves of Boasson Hagen but the Norwegian looks strong, countering a move and putting in a dig of his own.
