16:00
Thanks for joining us today - be sure to return tomorrow for the Champs-Elysees finale, and perhaps a second stage win for Mark Cavendish.
0km
Froome and Valverde cross the line together 1:38 down. Chris Froome has won the Tour de France! He holds on by 1:12 after a nail-biting finish...
0km
Ryder Hesjedal takes third place at 41 seconds.
0km
Nairo Quintana kisses his hand and points to the air as he takes second place 18 seconds down. Bravo - what an effort. But even with 6 bonus seconds it won't be enough...
0km
Thibaut Pinot punches the air as he wins on Alpe d'Huez.
0.5km
Pinot all smiles as he rounds the final bend...
0.8km
Porte now drops back, his job done. Froome still has Valverde on his wheel, with Rolland right there.
1km
Pinot has 21 seconds to play with under the flamme rouge - the win is his.
1.7km
This could be the third successive French win on Alpe d'Huez. The gap is not coming down and Pinot may have got his win...
2km
It's 25 seconds now for Pinot as he approaches the 2-to-go banner.
2.5km
Quintana rides clear of Hesjedal, but the rangy Canadian has a dig. No can do, the Colombian will ride on. He's really going for it now - he at least wants this win, if he can't take the yellow.
2.5km
Quintana is out of the saddle and giving it his all. He's about to catch Hesjedal. But his gap is not coming down on Pinot, nor growing on Froome.
3km
Pinot or Quintana? It's touch and go...
3.5km
Quintana just 33 seconds down on Pinot now. He has one minute over Froome. Remember, there will be 10 bonus seconds for the winner too.
3.8km
Pinot is not wearing his earpiece so has no idea of the splits. He asks a cameraman, who puts his thumb up - but it's not guaranteed, he only has 45 seconds to play with. And Quintana is riding like a man possessed.
4km
Poels has dropped back so Froome just has Porte now...
4.5km
Now Quintana puts in a huge dig. He zips past his team-mate and compatriot Anacona and dances clear. He's 53 seconds down on Pinot so he could win today's stage... but can he take the yellow jersey off Froome's shoulders?
5km
Just 5-to-go for Pinot now. He has 1:30 on the yellow jersey, and one minute on Quintana and Anacona.
5.5km
This is a lot of fun but it's borderline crazy - so many people and flags and flares... the riders will relish the barrier section.
6km
Crazy scenes at Dutch Corner - there's no space for any attacks whatsoever. Froome is struggling, and has Valverde sitting on his back wheel.
