    Lopez defends the jersey by a handful of seconds.

    That's as close a finish as you'll see on a mountain stage. Landa should have kept riding as he would have picked up a time bonus as well as any gap. Movistar tactics obviously die hard.

    Lopez stays in pink.

    Not as close at it first looked. Hindley did well to somehow hold them off, he looked done with 50m to go.

    Bit steep I think with hindsight (he was my PTP pick).

    Was great to watch, I love a good suffering defence of the Jersey.

    Great for Hindley.

    He was first guy home after Lopez, so a 2 minute gap.

    Carapaz zipping up the jersey at 700m to go in anticipation of winning the sprint was pretty baller...

    Blimey, Yates dropped 11'15", he looked like he was controlling his losses well earlier. Blown up completely or dropping time for stage hunting?

    They saying it was the knee? He talked the knee down pre stage

    First thing in Lopez's interview was apologising for throwing a bidon at oomen earlier in the stage.

    Apparently he said post stage it was a problem, but not the only problem.
