    Martin? Does this years parcours suit a climber at all? I've not looked in depth, but heard it was pretty flat overall.

    15.7 km at 7% to a MTF on Saturday

    Greipel isn't used to doing pulls with 6k to go, then with the hill at the end it should be an interesting finalé.

    Commentary alert: "giant chateau". Non! It was a chuffing great palace. Versailles. Defo top 5 in Palaces Top Trumps

    Direct Energie riding different colour bikes? Coquard on yellow and Gallopin on red or was it vice versa - that is a bit odd

    Greipel out the back
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Rowe's finally stopped pulling Henao

    Alaphillipe attacks, Demare can he keep up?

    Looks like Contador was dropped on the final climb.

    Confident finish from Demare.

    Tough few hours in the saddle that. Good win for Demare.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Demare has shown (MSR) he can do hills - gonna be difficult to shift him from yellow, especially with a decent motivated team

    Great reaction from Damare to go after Alaphillipe, he looks on great form and played it perfectly.

    Haven't seen FDJ ride together so coherently in a long time.

    I'm hoping that's a good sign for him in P-R. Got him (demare) at 66.00.
