Thanks for joining us today for another dramatic stage - read the full report for a full run-through of what happened on the road to Le Havre...

Stybar finished two seconds ahead of the chasing riders, with Sagan taking second ahead of Coquard, Degenkolb, Van Avermart, Gallopin, Boasson Hagan, Cimolai, Simon and Izaguirre.

Replays shows that Martin touched a wheel and went down into a Lampre rider - perhaps Cimolai - before landing heavily on his shoulder. He brought down Nibali and Quintana too. But the yellow jersey looks to be the only one who was badly hurt - and as the incident occurred within the last 3km (just 800m from the finish, to be precise) all the riders will be awarded the same time.

Martin is now riding up the climb with three Etixx team-mates, including Kwiatkowski, the world champion. It's bittersweet because their man Stybar won the stage following the chaos caused by that crash - but Martin may well not be able to start tomorrow...

But Tony Martin has still not got back on his bike. It looks like he's done his collarbone...

In the ensuing sprint Sagan takes second place - of course - ahead of Coquard and Degenkolb. To be confirmed.

Now Soupe comes to the front at the start of the climb...

Sagan is tucked in five back with his yellow helmet, Coquard in his wheel.

It's very strung out and many riders will struggle to get in with a shout. Giant take it up, and Tony Martin is right there on the front too.

Kenneth Van Bilsen is caught. Etixx lead the pack.

So many riders want to win - need to win - today.

The pace is ferocious now as BMC drive the peloton along the waterfront in pursuit of lone ranger Van Bilsen.
8km
Katusha and Ag2R-La Mondiale are near the front now - and still Van Bilsen rides ahead of the pack, 22 seconds up the road.
9km
Teklehaimanot and Quemeneur pat each other on the back as they are swallowed up by the peloton. Interestingly, the two riders were in a break together in the Dauphine when Teklehaimanot first picked up the polka dot jersey that he eventually won in last month's week-long Tour warm up race.

The peloton splits after a large section picks the wrong line through a roundabout and are left further down the road.
