1. Sam Bennett (Ire/Deceuninck-Quick-Step) - 213 points

2. Peter Sagan (Slo/Bora-Hansgrohe) - 188

3. Bryan Coquard (Fra/B&B Hotels-Vital Concept) - 139

4. Matteo Trentin (Ita/CCC Team) - 134

9. Julian Alaphilippe (Fra/Deceuninck-Quick-Step) - 82

10. Cees Bol (Ned/Team Sunweb) - 72

1. Matthieu Ladagnous (Fra/Groupama-FDJ) - 20 points

2. Sam Bennett (Ire/Deceuninck-Quick-Step) - 17

3. Michael Morkov (Den/Deceuninck-Quick-Step) - 15

Sam Bennett duly finishes second at the intermediate sprint to claim 17 more points.

Michael Morkov did an amazing job yet again for his Deceuninck-Quick-Step team-mate, bringing him round Niccolo Bonifazio and delivering him to the line.

Morkov even managed to stay ahead of Peter Sagan, who has to settle for fourth place overall and 13 points.

So Bennett extends his lead over Sagan to 25 points.

Michael Morkov once again brings Sam Bennett through to the front.

The Irishman is perfectly placed...

B&B Hotels-Vital Concept hit the front, signalling Bryan Coquard's intention to go for this.

Matthieu Ladagnous duly rolls over the intermediate sprint point alone, winning 20 points.

Now the pace surges in the peloton behind as the green jersey contenders aim for the 17 points on offer for second over the line.

Matthieu Ladagnous is now just 1km away from the intermediate sprint point and his lead is down under two minutes.

Muhlberger has dropped off his jacket at his team car and continues to grind away, isolated off the back of the bunch.

A surge in the peloton has taken Matthieu Ladagnous' lead down to 2mins 20secs as he enters 4km to go until the intermediate sprint.

Lotto Soudal and Deceuninck-Quick-Step gather at the front.

Will Caleb Ewan give this intermediate sprint a go? He's not really in contention for green but may want to test his legs before the sprint at the finish later.

Expect this to be Sam Bennett v Peter Sagan though.

Bora-Hansgrohe's Gregor Muhlberger looks in immense pain, grimly trying to hang on to the back of the peloton.

Fellow Austrian Michael Gogl comes up from the NTT Pro team car to check on his compatriot and offer him a conciliatory pat on the back.

It looks sadly like Muhlberger's Tour will be coming to an end soon.

The intermediate sprint point is coming up in around 10km.

Matthieu Ladagnous should stay out front until after then so will take the 20 points on offer for the first rider over the line.

That means there will be 17 points on offer for the first rider from the peloton.

Can Sam Bennett extend his lead over Peter Sagan even further?

Ladagnous' lead has gone back out to nearly three minutes after the pace in the peloton eased going through a feed zone.

Groupama-FDJ's Matthieu Ladagnous remains out alone and duly takes the sole king of the mountains point as the first rider over the top of the category four Cote de Cherveux.

That's the only climb of the day so no movement in the polka dot jersey competition, which Benoit Cosnefroy still leads on 36 points.

Thomas de Gendt remains on the front of the peloton.

Lotto Soudal are down to five riders after Steff Cras, John Degenkolb and Philippe Gilbert all abandoned.

So De Gendt has a big job to do on the front for as long as possible so his three team-mates Frederik Frison, Roger Kluge and Jasper de Buyst can conserve themselves to work for sprinter Caleb Ewan in the final stages.

The peloton is now over halfway through this stage, which is 11 of 21 in this year's race.

Small mercies as the riders enter the second half of the Tour - but plenty of brutal climbing to come.

Andre Greipel’s presence in the final few metres of the world’s sprint stages has been rare in recent times, which is fair enough given he’s 38. But his sixth place in yesterday’s sprint was a pleasure to see, and proof he’s not here just to develop a young Israel Start Up Nation team who are new to the World Tour.

“No way,” the team told me earlier as they set off from Chatelaillon Plage. “He’s here to try to win a stage. He’s suffered like a dog to get here,” after overcoming a huge bruise sustained in the crash that brought down Thibaut Pinot in Stage 1.

The German sprinter, once dubbed ‘The Gorilla’ for his over-arching physical presence on the bike, used to terrorise the likes of Mark Cavendish circa 2015 when he rode for Lotto-Soudal, and has 11 Tour stage wins on his palmares.

Greipel said he “went through hell” in the Pyrenees to get to this stage in good enough condition. And today’s blast into Poitiers is his last chance realistically go for it before the big one in Paris.

He might need Bennett or Ewan to trip over each other to get that chance, but you never know.

Matthieu Ladagnous' lead has fallen to 2min 40secs with 90km to go.

Lotto Soudal's Thomas de Gendt - so often a breakaway fiend - is doing the damage on the front of the peloton, working for his sprinter Caleb Ewan.

Just a day to stay out of trouble for the general classification riders. Tomorrow also looks like one for a breakaway.

But there are some huge stages to come this week - not least a brutal summit finish on Grand Colombier on Sunday.
