Missed all today's stage and tonight's highlights due to family commitments, so it's only a results programme on here.
Basically the breakaway ruled, but one of the great sprinters got into the breakaway and won the stage. Edvald Boasson Hagen won by 5 seconds from Nikias Arndt with 6 riders 17 seconds behind and 1 rider 19 seconds behind. The next closest was 92 seconds and the usual suspects for the GC and about 140 others all rolled in over 12 minutes behind - no doubt saving themselves for tomorrow.
Calmejane finished in 11th place, 1m 37s behind the winner.
As for tomorrow's Time Trial in Marseille, Chris Froome sets off last and has a really strong chance of finishing first. Just to make it more interesting, I'll pick Tony Martin to win, but still expect Chris Froome to extend his GC lead before the Coronation Procession on Sunday.
