The cream of sprinting in this year's Tour rose to the top there and that was the closest finish we've seen.

Caleb Ewan's late kick did it again and the Australian takes his second win of this year's Tour and fifth overall.

Sam Bennett missed Michael Morkov guiding him through in the final stages but still grabbed third.

He's lost some points to Peter Sagan in the green jersey competition as it stands, though we may have to see whether the judges relegate Sagan for making contact with Wout van Aert, who ended up fourth.

Peter Sagan looks to have taken second but Wout van Aert was not happy with the Slovakian, believing he changed his line. The judges may well look at that.

Sam Bennett finished third.

And Caleb Ewan wins it on a lunge for the line!

That was ridiculously close.

Ewan, Bennett, Van Aert and Sagan side by side!

A mess as Wout van Aert, Peter Sagan, Sam Bennett and Caleb Ewan all jostle for position.

Van Aert goes first.

No lead-outs here. All the sprinters have to go from miles out.

Greg van Avermaet leads the race into the final 1km.

Most sprinters are isolated but Bryan Coquard has two team-mates.

Greg van Avermaet his the front in support of Matteo Trentin.

Wout van Aert is going to sprint today! He's still up there in 10th position.

Peter Sagan latches on to his wheel.

Caleb Ewan has just one team-mate left right at the front.

Sam Bennett is about 10th on the road but doesn't look to have Michael Morkov with him.

The sprinters are not going to have many lead-out men left by the finish.

Bob Jungels and Lukas Postlberger are caught.

Caleb Ewan is sticking at the front. This could be a chaotic finish.

Jungels and Postlberger lead by five seconds as the road kicks upwards.

Cofidis and Lotto Soudal are working hard to bring the leading trio back.

The gap is down to five seconds.

Kasper Asgreen pulls off and Bob Jungels takes over, with Lukas Postlberger on his wheel.

It feels like a late change of plan by Deceuninck-Quick-Step - two of their riders are up the road and will likely be able to beat Lukas Postlberger at the finish.

And if they are caught then Sam Bennett is still in contention for the bunch sprint.

The trio out front have a gap of seven seconds.

Will the peloton play cat and mouse?

Deceuninck-Quick-Step's Kasper Asgreen and Bob Jungels have countered to try and bridge across to Lukas Postlberger.

Over to Lotto Soudal to drive it on the front now.

CCC get forward to support Matteo Trentin, who will fancy picking up some more green jersey points if not the stage win.

Meanwhile, Bora-Hansgrohe's Lukas Postlberger attacks to try and disrupt the sprint trains for his team-mate Peter Sagan.

Ineos now hit the front, protecting Egan Bernal, who is following Luke Rowe.

A technical descent on narrow roads sees the peloton string out.

Primoz Roglic has positioned himself right up the front to stay out of any potential danger.

Caleb Ewan is third man in the line but will likely drop back before the finishing straight.

A brief rise in the road sees Deceuninck-Quick-Step swamped at the front as Jumbo-Visman and Lotto Soudal take over.

B&B Hotels-Vital Concept are also up there for Bryan Coquard.

Wout van Aert is second wheel after Roger Kluge, suggesting the Belgian is indeed not targeting the sprint today.
