    Alaphilippe kicks and tries to claw back time.

    Pinot is so strong - looking round and daring Bernal to ride.

    Thibaut Pinot goes again, dropping his team-mate Sebastien Reichenbach.

    Egan Bernal is on Pinot's wheel, followed by Julian Alaphilippe.

    I think Bernal is now the leader of Team Ineos.

    The yellow jersey group is now just Sebastien Reichehnbach, Thibaut Pinot, Julian Alaphilippe, Emanuel Buchmann and Egan Bernal.

    Egan Bernal isn't waiting for Geraint Thomas.

    Bernal and Julan Alaphilippe and Emanuel Buchmann get across to Thibaut Pinot.

    Thomas has Wout Poels to try and bridge him back across.

  8. Pinot attackspublished at 15:42 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Thibaut Pinot goes!

    The Frenchman times it perfectly and leaps across to team-mate Sebastien Reichenbach's wheel!

    Simon Yates has a lead of 1:08 over Mikel Landa going into the last 6km.

  10. Postpublished at 15:40 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Landa is about to reach Gesckhe now.

    The Spaniard is a definite threat to Yates' hopes of winning this stage.

  11. Postpublished at 15:39 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Landa kicks out of the saddle and has gained five seconds on Yates. Does he have enough road left to catch him though?

    Gaudu ups the tempo. Pinot looks strong.

    Kruijswijk, Thomas and Alaphilippe still there.

    Poels is struggling but just about sticking with Thomas for now.

  14. 7km to gopublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Yates is holding a 1:20 lead over Landa.

    This is tremendous riding by the Briton.

  15. Postpublished at 15:37 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Gauda hits the front for Pinot.

    Bennett is done and Kruijswijk is isolated.

    Alaphilippe remains without a team-mate.

  16. Postpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Only Lennard Kamna could follow Mikel Landa and he's dropped back now too.

    Landa is trying to chase down Geschke and lone leader Yates.

  17. Bardet droppedpublished at 15:36 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Geraint Thomas has Wout Poels and Egan Bernal with him. Julian Alaphilippe is still there.

    Mikel Landa is so strong - he's ridden Romain Bardet off his wheel.

  18. Quintana droppedpublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    What are Movistar?

    Mikel Landa has had to work so hard to bridge across and moments after he does, team-mate Nairo Quintana, who has spent all day in the break, is shelled out the back.

    What do they talk about in their pre-stage meetings?

    It would make more sense if they had no briefings at all.

  19. Yates attackspublished at 15:33 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Simon Yates is in super form.

    The Briton easily kicks away from Simon Geschke and will try to ride the final 8.6km to the line solo.

  20. 9km to gopublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Mikel Landa has bridged across to the Nairo Quintana group. The two Movistar team-mates don't each talk to each other.

    How much time can they make up on GC?

    AG2R hit the front, trying to bring back Geschke and Yates for Romain Bardet.
