Hello and welcome to live coverage of Stage 12 of the Tour de France - a 175.5km ride from Bourg-Saint-Maurice to Alpe d'Huez via the Col de la Madeleine, the Lacets de Montvernier and the Col de la Croix de Fer. It's going to be as stunning as it is difficult.

17:00
The new GC with Thomas and Froome sitting pretty on the top.
16:50
0km
Roglic and Nibali come home 13 seconds down, Fuglsang is 42 seconds adrift while Quintana and Kruijswijk complete the top 10.
0km
Well, well, well... Team Sky have a leadership conundrum. Thomas is clearly in the form of his life as he becomes the first British rider to win on Alpe d'Huez while extending his lead in the general classification.
0km
The Welshman dances clear on the home straight to hold off Tom Dumoulin for his second successive win. Romain Bardet beats Chris Froome behind for third place ahead of Mikel Landa.
0km
Victory for Geraint Thomas!
0.5km
Landa attacks!
1km
Amazing ride from Landa, who is back with the four leaders. Roglic and Nibali are closing in too. Wow...
1.5km
Yes, it's Roglic that Nibali rides alongside. They're 53 seconds down as the four leaders come back together again.
2km
Dumoulin now attacks! Thomas latches on but Froome and Bardet have been distanced. Further back Nibali rides with Kruijswijk (or is it Roglic?). They're 50 seconds down but we don't know the cause of that crash.
2.2km
That attack has put Landa into difficulty. The others catch Bardet ahead of the 2km to go banner.
2.5km
Just as Landa fights back on, Bardet puts in another attack!
2.8km
It's back together as an attack from Bardet is neutralised by Thomas, Froome and Dumoulin.
3km
We still don't know what happened in that crash - whether it involved spectators, flares, a motorcycle... Nibali is back on his bike but will lose time, while Dumoulin had to sweve and Roglic disappeared after it too.
3.2km
But it's not over yet! Dumoulin has dragged Thomas and Bardet past Kruijswijk - and they're closing in on Froome!
3.5km
Froome has passed Bardet and is about to pick off Kruijswijk. Behind, Thomas rides with Dumoulin and Bardet.
3.8km
CRASH: Nibali is in the barriers. It looks like an incident with a spectator... that's terrible.
4km
Froome rides clear of the others and has Bardet in his sights...
4.2km
Just 30 seconds now for Kruijswijk, while Bardet only has 10 seconds on the others.
4.5km
Bernal peels off, his work done. So we now have the yellow jersey of Geraint Thomas leading his team-mate Froome on Alpe d'Huez.
