    Aime de Gendt doesn't have too much hope of holding off a surging peloton here.

    But the Belgian has been awarded the combativity prize for the most aggressive rider today.

    Probably why Stephane Rossetto, who covets the overall combativity prize, was so annoyed to see De Gendt sprint away from him earlier.

  8. Crashpublished at 16:28 British Summer Time 17 July 2019

    As the road narrows, a Lotto Soudal rider has fallen into a ditch after coming together with a CCC rider.

  10. De Gendt attackspublished at 16:26 British Summer Time 17 July 2019

    Aime de Gendt has launched solo off the front of the four-man breakaway.

    Stephane Rossetto is livid, throwing his hands in exasperation at the Belgian streaking away.

    Anthony Perez sits up - no chance of victory for him in his home town of Toulouse.

    It's a descent for the majority of the run in and there are some poorly placed barriers at around 3-4km to go.

    The peloton remain fanned out across the road and the gap comes down very slightly to 22 seconds.

  13. Postpublished at 16:22 British Summer Time 17 July 2019

    Bora-Hansgrohe, Deceuninck Quick-Step and Lotto Soudal spread across the front of the peloton.

    Team Ineos are keeping Geraint Thomas safe.

    Yellow jersey Julian Alaphilippe is up there too.

    Jumbo-Visma's Tony Martin peels off after a massive turn on the front in service of Dylan Groenewegen and Wout van Aert.

    The hounds (peloton) are indeed about to shoot us (the four-man breakaway) to borrow Anthony Perez's curious pre-stage expression.

    Just 24 seconds separate them with 14km to go.

  15. 16km to gopublished at 16:20 British Summer Time 17 July 2019

    Bora-Hansgrohe are moving up to the front in service of Peter Sagan.

    Can Sagan win his 13th individual Tour stage today?

    Just over 30 seconds from the peloton to the four-man break.

  16. Postpublished at 16:18 British Summer Time 17 July 2019

    Ciccone, Langeveld and Nizzolo are almost six minutes down on the peloton now.

    Dylan Groenewegen is indeed one of the favourites for a second stage win of this Tour de France today.

    Expect Peter Sagan, Elia Viviani, Wout van Aert, Michael Matthews, Caleb Ewan, Andre Greipel, Michael Matthews and Alexander Kristoff to be in contention in Toulouse too.

    You go with Dylan Groenewegen, he is the fastest pure sprinter.
