Welcome to live coverage of stage 14 of the Tour de France, a hilly 191km slog from Saint-Pourcain-sur-Sioule to Lyon. It's hard to predict, this one, with a select field of riders possibily arriving at the finish together to contest a bunch sprint. More likely, though, is for a break to stay out all the way - especially after the dramatics yesterday.

With Andre Greipel missing a trick for the second day running, the green jersey points competition looks increasingly like a two-horse race between Peter Sagan and Mark Cavendish - although, to be fair, the Slovakian has quite a cushion at the top and is unlikely to be caught. Cannondale's Sagan leads Cav by 84 points and Greipel of Lotto Belisol by a whopping 140 points.

The big winners yesterday were Spaniard Alberto Contador and Dutchmen Bauke Mollema and Laurens Ten Dam. It was Contador's Saxo-Tinkoff who forced the split in fierce crosswinds and he's now in third place on GC, slashing his deficit to 2:45. Mollema rises to second, 2:28 down, after his Belkin team played a big role in proceedings. Britain's Froome stays in the lead, but his hold on yellow has got weaker and his Sky team have once again been thrust under the spotlight - for the wrong reasons.

There will indeed be some weary legs in the peloton after Friday's quite extraordinary events - which saw yellow jersey Chris Froome loose more than a minute, plus Spaniard Alejandro Valverde plummet out of the top 15 after conceded a whipping 10 minutes at the finish. The winner was Omega Pharma's Mark Cavendish, who outsprinted greeen jersey Peter Sagan - but there was nothing routine about the finale, which saw a select group of 15 riders arrive 1:09 ahead of the pack.
