    Porte just making sure Froome couldn't take him on the inside again

    Froome now stretching it out, Porte still down. Replay it again ITV thanks, that's obviously necessary

    Someone was inevitably going down on this descent. That was horrible. Hope he's going to be ok.

    Looked like Porte cut the corner, lost control on the grass and then went straight into the side of Martin.

    He seemed to get catapulted across the road faster than he was originally going. Martin's reaction was to turn around and have a go and then realise how bad he was.

    I hope Dan M just sits and waits for team car and then completes stage. This descent with the shakes and a neutral service bike which you have never ridden before is just too dangerous

    Bardet going for it big time. Fuglsang's head is gone

    ITV don't control what is shown.

    Bardet dropping everyone, he can certainly descend.

    Froome would be wise to let Bardet go
