    Boassen Hagen in the break means either DDD won't chase, or EBH won't work

    Cummings there as well, while Cav apparently off the back, so 2 more reasons not to chase

    Cav just got vocal with the camera moto because he went for a wee, working through the convoy to get back on.

    Cav and the other stragglers are back in the peleton, but unlikely to have the energy to cross to the leading group before the intermediate sprint. Sagan should end the day with the Green jersey at least.

    That's a pretty powerful break, not coming back surely.

    Just got back from a site visit in time for the live coverage :):)

    The *only* people who wants it back at Katusha for Kristoff and.. well, nobody is helping them, so they've given up chasing.

    Boulting just saying the same thing. Looks like a sticker..

    Sagan takes the intermediate sprint, uncontested.

    IAM cycling on the front of the peloton, for some reason. Possibly due to their contracts being up at the end of the season? :)

    Cav can climb off before Ventoux now, without disrespecting the jersey

    He isn't in the break.

    It's Chavanel and he knows the finish pretty well...

    DD got quite a few options here. Stevo for another mugging, EBH to contest breakaway sprint (not going to win though) and still Cav if it comes back.

    I wonder if a Stevo satellite for EBH to come over to.

    Would expect OBE to do something similar near the climb towards the end too I guess.

    Toured this area with full kit a while back. Not really as flat as the profile looks.

    Looked like the break was coming back, but the gap's still at 4'20" at 29km

    I think some of the sprinters' teams should look to bring this back. Sagan will be exhausted and he is the clear favourite in the lead group.

    No one in leading group willing to work. All following Sagan.

    Hello all,

    I'm missing the stage sat waiting for a plane but I thought I'd share this cow picture from the stage 7 finish. Clearly a Steve Cummings fan.
