Looks like Yates got caught by it falling on him. Hopefully no injury!

Should be a good day for my fantasy team, depending on what happens with Yates. He and Dan Martin were definitely off the front when the arch fell on them.

Cummings win, Yates 5/6th (potentially), then Froome, Bardet, Thomas and Nieve all in the main group finishing together - and all towards the front over the top of the climb.

Might claw some points back!

I believe they've taken the timings from 3km to go Fozzy, hence all the GC contenders have the same time.

If they took the 3km time why is Adam Yates so far down on the stage?

Adam Yates was ahead at 3km to go, so he should not have been given the same time as Froome et al.

My understanding was that they were going to be given the time gaps as they were at 3km to go.

That's what they were saying on ITV4 as I caught the last bit of it.

That's what I heard but on classification his time is +8.07 for the stage. Which is behind the gc group that passed him while he was retrieving his bike from the inflatable.

rather unfair for the fantasy league, they should share the places points after Van A between all the group who were given the same time. Don't quite see why Mate and Thomas should get more points than anyone else.

What is it about Orica and stage furniture, was this the Tour organisers getting back at Orica for the Corsica incident by taking out one of their riders or was the Newport Velothon tack thrower standing too close to the flamme rouge balloons.
What a complete nonsense and if they declare force majeure that will add to it.

Great win by Stevo, Doug Ryder must think he,s on a different planet with the 2016 team.
Rod Ellingworth and the GB selection team must have red faces, good for Stevo showing them up.

Only three of us in the in the KOM league and guess who doesn't have Cummings. Picking him instead of Teklehaimanot would have me on 580 points!

Surely it's about time for this year's thread? Froome vs Quintana vs Contador vs Nibali is all go again... Will it be the same once more?
