A brilliant ride from Niewiadoma to take second! Van Vleuten finishes third over two minutes behind Vollering. Kopecky sixth with an incredible ride, she couldn't have worked harder to try and defend her yellow jersey.

What a ride up the Tourmalet! Redemption story almost complete after finishing second in last year's Tour, only one more stage standing between her and the overall win. She comes through the clouds to take her first stage win at the Tour and the yellow jersey!

Vollering goes up through a sea of fans, stunning scenes. All chasers also working incredibly hard here, what a brilliant display of women's cycling up the Tourmalet. Kopecky 2'30" behind.

The altitude is increasing as is Vollering's lead. She's 1'05 ahead of Niewiadoma in second, 1'31" ahead of Van Vleuten, 2'09" ahead of Kopecky.

Van Vleuten pushing throguh the pain but Vollering is 1'13" ahead. Niewiadoma back from Vollering by 55". Kopecky now down by 2'00".

She's 37" ahead of Niewiadoma, Kopecky 1'38", Van Vleuten just over 50".

She's now 16" ahead of Niewiadoma, 56" ahead of yellow jersey Kopecky. Van Vleuten 33" back.

She goes just past the solo leader as the climb continues! Visibility very poor now. Van Vleuten and Moolman-Pasio also couldn't keep up.

She's moved away from Van Vleuten and has dropped Kopecky!

Vollering ups the speed and Labous begins to get distance. Van Vleuten stays with her. Visibility is getting bad as the summit looms nearer with Niewiadoma 35" ahead.

Niewiadoma stays strong and has extended her lead to 44". Still no big moves from those behind...

Labous with further attacks but no big moves from the yellow jersey group. Niewiadoma with a 34" lead. Kopecky still incredibly strong. She'll be incredibly confident going into the time trial tomorrow if she can keep hold of the yellow jersey today. Labous, Van Vleuten, Vollering, Moolman-Pasio all with Kopecky in this group.

She leads the chasing group with Vollering on second wheel, Niewiadoma with a 38" lead.

Labous attacks from the yellow jersey as the road ahead gets steeper. Amanda Spratt (Lidl-Trek) has worked hard to rejoin the chasing group as Niewiadoma remains ahead with a 36" lead.

She's worked up a lead of more than 30"!

Niewiadoma refuses to be caught and has a 21" lead now!

Swiss national champion Reusser with a determined ride to bring the group closer to solo leader Niewiadoma before dropping off. Yellow jersey group with a 5" gap to the front of the race now. Kopecky with an incredible ride to remain up there on the climbs today, she's looking very strong leading into the World Championships in two week's time.

She's still ahead by over 30" and the two behind her have been caught by the yellow jersey group! Reusser leads the Kopecky group with Van Vleuten and Vollering now part of their ranks. Vos abandons the race behind.
