Hello and welcome to live coverage of stage 11 of the Tour de France - a 203.5km stage from Eymet to Pau that will be won by Marcel Kittel in a bunch sprint.

Kittel's celebration and Boasson Hagen's frustration look very similar over the line...

Matthews and McLay completed the top five but it was yet another poor finish by Messrs Greipel and Bouhanni, while Kristoff was nowhere to be seen (he actually came 11th).

So, a fifth stage win for Quick-Step Floors sprinter Kittel - this time ahead of Dylen Groenewegen of LottoNL-Jumbo and an irate Edvald Boasson Hagen of Dimension Data.

Victory for Marcel Kittel, who this time just celebrated with a solitary fist pump!

Bodnar still out ahead after the chicane... what a ride... but it won't be enough...

Big left-hand turn ahead of the flamme rouge... and Bodnar is still on the front - but only just.

Still 5 seconds for Bodnar...

Marcel Kittel is placed further up today, in the wheel of Fabio Sabatini. Now Cofidis finally make their presence known... what a story that would be after Nacer Bouhanni's antics yesterday.

The Dimension Data team of Bernie Eisel and Edvald Boasson Hagen (and the absent Mark Cavendish) hit the front now. The gap is 14 seconds as Bodnar looks over his shoulders and, no doubt, shudders.

Just 20 seconds now for Bodnar, with Sylvain Chavanel pulling on the front.

Tony Martin is in full basking-shark mode - and Direct Energie are there in numbers too, for Adrien Petit and Thomas Boudat, their 'sprinters'. Boy, do they miss Bryan Coquard in these sprints...

It's down to 32 seconds now - and Sean Kelly, in the Eurosport commentary box, thinks its curtains for Bodnar...

Katusha-Alpecin come to the front and have Tony Martin pulling hard and Lotto Soudal have Tim Wellens - so that may spell curtains for our lone leader, Maciej Bodnar, who is using his time trialling skills to maintain a gap of 40 seconds. Intriguing...

So, if it isn't Marcel Kittel then who can it be? Well, the top tier opposition comes from Andre Griepel, Alexandre Kristoff and - shudder - Nacer Bouhanni. But there's also the likes of Dylen Groenewegen, Michael Matthews, John Degenkolb, Dan McLay, Rudiger Selig, Sonny Colbrelli and Edvald Boasson Hagen to take into consideration.

The pack is making no headway in their pursuit of Bodnar, who still rides with a 45-second gap despite the best efforts of Quick-Step and Lotto Soudal in the pack.

Contador, who crashed just now, has made it back to the peloton. Poor Contador, he's been involved in numerous spills in this year's race - in fact, it seems like he's almost as crash-prone as the aforementioned Thomas in his old(er) age. Already five minutes down on GC, it's difficult seeing Contador involved in the battle for yellow this year - or ever again, to be fair. Bodnar still holds a 45-second gap over the pack.

Meanwhile, lone leader Bodnar continues with a 45-second gap over the pack. You may remember the Pole from that stage last year when he broke clear with then Tinkoff team-mate Peter Sagan as they rode clear with Team Sky duo Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas. Sagan tried to lead out his friend for the win, but in the end the world champion sprinted to the victory himself. Two of those protagonists that day - Thomas and Sagan - are no longer in this year's race, after crashing out and being disqualified respectively.

CRASH: Two Trek-Segafredo riders down - and one of those is Alberto Contador... The Spaniard sorts out his bike and then continues on his way, with team-mate Jarlinson Pantano coming back to help pace him to the peloton. But the other rider down in the crash - Michael Gogl - didn't escape that crash as well. The Pole is a bit bashed up, his jersey is all torn and he'll need a new bike.

The pack is about to catch Backaert and Marcato, who don't have the legs to stay out much longer.

Bodnar attacks and drops his fellow escapees...
