    Engrossing descent. Scary hairy moments. Ag2r really taking the race to the breakaway and Peloton.

    Race Radio are now saying they're not sure about Herrada. Really, until a camera can confirm in/out, we will not know.

    That descent is crazy anyway. I can understand the cameras not getting too close.

    Thomas out of the Tour
    Geraint Thomas is in an ambulance, apparently suffering from a broken collarbone.

    Contador regaining contact with the Peloton. Just looks like he got held up with Thomas' crash, rather than falling himself and he had no rips or tears in his kit.

    Contador with blood on his elbow. Tour wouldn't be the Tour without Contador getting some nick to his skin of some sort :p

    Was there a moto involved? Even if there wasn't this time, a moto will be blamed.

    Bora not saying Majka has abandoned, but that he's in serious difficulty after his off. Chances are he'll be done soon enough.

    Contador took a little sideways tumble there, possibly having hit Quintana's wheel.

    Jaysus, Contador has no luck in the Tour. Some of it self inflicted, but year after year there is an issue. His new team are pretty poor this year too.

    So much for the long attack from Bertie/Porte........ All hangs on the last climb after all, unless there's action on the descent.

    Porte has 3 team mates with him. Is Nico one of them?

    EDIT: Pretty sure Nico is not there.

    Kwiatkowski is earning his wages so far in this tour. He's been pulling along the peloton in the valleys for ages.

    Eurosport saying Demare has been cut loose at the back, and is expected to be taken by the broom wagon. His team mates are on their way back up the road.

    Edit: Now saying he's just over Colombier, and has people with him. Some 36 minutes behind.

    They updated there to say he's about 20km back just starting the descent but think he still does have people around him.
