Mathieu Burgaudeau has taken about 10 seconds out of Ion Izagirre.

Ion Izagirre is on his way up this short lumpy climb as Matteo Jorgenson ups the pace behind. There's very little juice to that mind and Guillaume Martin ends up on the front.

Mathieu Burgaudeau speeds it up again and eats into the gap...

Ion Izagirre is taking this stage away from his cashers at present. He has taken 53 seconds out of his pursuers, who don't look organised in their chase.

Ion Izagirre is still taking time on this descent. He has 44 seconds and a teammate Guillaume Martin in that chasing group who is unlikely to do a jot of work.

Torstein Traaen hits the deck at high speed on the downhill section of the final climb. He has had a pretty torrid Tour so far. That is his third crash.

His bike ends up bouncing across the road and almost takes another rider out.

Ion Izagirre still has 30 seconds on his chaser. The Cofidis rider has not won a stage at the Tour since 2016, when he took the mountain stage into Morzine.

Ineos Grenadiers come to the front of the yellow jersey group. This is all about preserving Carlos Rodriguez and Tom Pidcock's GC placings. The Spaniard is fourth overall with Britain's Pidcock in eighth.

Matteo Jorgenson puts the hammer down and immediately sees Thibaut Pinot latch onto his wheel.

Guillaume Martin, who doesn't have the same sort of acceleration, is turning a big gear to stick with this.

Ion Izagirre has opened up 30 seconds but it's all kicking off behind him and that should see that gap brought right down.

Ion Izagirre attacks and puts Mathieu van der Poel in trouble. Can the Dutch rider stay within striking distance?

The Col de la Croix Rosier is the final categorised climb of the day bar a couple of small punchy ascents on the way down to the line.

Tiesj Benoot, Guillaume Martin, Ion Izagirre, Ruben Guerreiro and Mathieu Burgaudeau reel in the leading trio.

Mathieu van der Poel is joined by Thibaut Pinot and Matteo Jorgenson on the final climb of the day.

Mikel Landa, Sepp Kuss and Emanuel Buchmann get over to the yellow jersey group.

No need for AG2R-Citroen to stay on the front now.

Mathieu van der Poel has a gap of 17 seconds.

The yellow jersey group is another three minutes down the road.

An acceleration in the chasing group sees Andrey Amador in bother. That collection looks like it is down to nine riders now.

Mathieu van der Poel, who grabbed a bidon from his dad Adrie on that climb, has a slender lead of 19 seconds as he goes over the top of the Cote de Montmain.

Andrey Amador is caught by the chasing group and almost drops straight through it.

Mathieu van der Poelhas not been feeling too great over the last few days. But is he on a flyer today?

He is flying up this climb and is holding his pursuers to 30 seconds.

Jasper Stuyven pops as well. The pace is just upping in the chasing group as Mathieu van der Poel attacks and leaves Andrey Amador for dust.

Mads Pedersen, who moved into second place in the points competition earlier, is cooked.

And so too is Julian Alaphilippe, who had to put in a huge effort to chase earlier. They both fall out of the second group on the road.
