Ciccone droppedpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 17 July 2019
The TV cameras missed this at first but Italy's Giulio Ciccone, who started the day 10th overall and third in the young rider classification, was caught up in that crash too.
He is now 4:45 behind the four-man break and nearly four minutes down on the peloton.
The Trek-Segafredo rider looks in real pain as he battles on alongside Sebastian Langeveld and Giacomo Nizzolo just to try and finish the stage.
Terpstra abandonspublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 17 July 2019
Sad but unsurprising news - Total Direct Energie's Niki Terpstra has withdrawn from the 2019 Tour de France.
The Dutchman was holding his collarbone after going down in that crash.

The pace has eased in the peloton and the chase group are about to make contact.
A scare for the likes of Nairo Quintana, Richie Porte and Michael Woods but not too costly in the end.

I don't think the peloton are quite at full gas yet. The Quintana group are 28 seconds down.
Giacomo Nizzolo of Dimension Data has fallen on his left hand side, a bit of road rash visible on his thigh through his shredded kit.
No chance he'll be contesting the bunch sprint now.

Race radio confirms Trek-Segafredo leader Richie Porte has also been caught out by that crash.
He's chasing back on with Nairo Quintana and a sizeable group.
They are 30 seconds down on the peloton, who are 1:07 back on the four-man break with 28km to go.
Terpstra downpublished at 16:02 British Summer Time 17 July 2019
It's former Paris-Roubaix winner Niki Terpstra who is the Total Direct Energie rider on the ground.
He's holding his collarbone. It's not looking likely he'll be able to continue.
Crashpublished at 16:01 British Summer Time 17 July 2019
Never a quiet day in the Tour. A pinch point in the road and several riders have come down towards the back of the peloton.
EF Education First's Sebastian Langeveld is down but is up again soon enough.
A Total Direct Energie riders looks in a bad way on the ground still.
There was a brief shot of Nairo Quintana having to chase back on - perhaps he was just slowed by the crash, rather than caught up in it.

Ex-GB cyclist on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, in FranceThe way the other teams beside Team Ineos rode in stage 10 was lacklustre. At one moment the TV director was focusing on EF Education-First kicking things off but within a couple of minutes they were in the second group on the road. They got caught out.
And Groupama-FDJ went the wrong way round a roundabout.
Astana were atrocious too.

This is the 19th time a Tour de France stage has finished.
According to the official Tour website, the yellow jersey has never changed hands in Toulouse.
Julian Alaphilippe set fair for another day in yellow tomorrow.

Ex-GB cyclist on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, in FranceI think you've answered your own question, Gareth.
But Alaphilippe might see that stage wins are more likely. He is going to have to lose a lot more time before he is allowed to go up the road by the GC favourites.

BBC reporter in FranceDoes Julian Alaphilippe lose some time to allow him to go for stage wins from breakaways later on? Or does he try to hold on to the yellow jersey for as long as possible? The latter might actually endear him more to the French public.

The first nine individual stages of this year's Tour have been won by nine different riders.
That hasn't happened since 2013. Can Mike Teunissen, Elia Viviani, Peter Sagan, Dylan Groenewegen or Wout van Aert - the only stage winners so far likely to contest a sprint - claim their second stage win today?
If the likes of Caleb Ewan, Andre Greipel, Sonny Colbrelli or Alexander Kristoff triumph then it will be the first time since 1996 that 10 different riders have won the opening 10 individual stages in the Tour.

Simon Brotherton
Commentator on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThis is the last chance for a sprint victory until Nimes on Tuesday and after that there is only the final stage in Paris.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the sprinters are considering pulling out after today's stage.
Postpublished at 15:30 British Summer Time 17 July 2019
The usual suspects are leading the peloton - Deceuninck Quick-Step, Jumbo-Visma, Lotto Soudal and Bora-Hansgrohe present to keep their sprinters up near the front.
