Thanks for joining me today on the live blog. Felix Lowe is back in the chair on Wednesday.
Adieu!
The final result was Van Aert ahead of Viviani with Ewan in third.
Matthews took fourth after absolutely butchering another great leadout from his team, with Sagan grabbing fifth.
It's a time loss of 1'48" for the Pinot group. Lutsenko brings it home. A terrible day for Fuglsang, Porte and Uran.
Wout Van Aert wins it!
Trentin coming strong!
500m! Sunweb on the front to lead out Matthews.
Groenewegen is here too!

So, Viviani, possibly Ewan, definitely Sagan and Matthews with three Sunweb riders to help him.
Seismic changes on GC today. Latest check on Bennett says he has lost five minutes in the last 20km.
They have hit the 3km to go marker now so any potential crashers will get same time as the bunch they were in.

Over a minute separates the Pinot group and the Thomas / Alaphilippe group.
Viviani is in the front group, along with Sagan. It must surely be one of those two who takes the stage now.
7km
Movistar have mustered four riders to try and bring Landa back from group three to group two. Bardet and Barguil have both made this front group, so all the French hopes are not lost.
Steven Kruijswijk joins in the pulling at the front. The Dutchman is Jumbo Visma's best shot for GC and cannot afford to be sentimental about his team mate, Bennett, who is out of the race now.

The gap just keeps growing from the Thomas group to the one behind. 43 seconds now for Pinot, Fuglsang and Porte.
It's Gianni Moscon's turn to take up the cudgel on behalf of Thomas and Bernal.
13km
Absolutely no let-up from Ineos and Deceuninck. Michal Kwiatkowski is earning his rest day beer right now.
Quintana and Valverde are also up there for Movistar, while the other members of that team are further back looking to help bring Mikel Landa back into contention.
It's looking pretty hopeless for Pinot and co. This second group looks ragged.
16km
The Pinot/Fuglsang/Porte group are holding the gap to 20 seconds, but the numbers are not on their side.
In between them and the leaders group containing Thomas, Bernal, Alaphilippe and Sagan are the pairing of Fabio Aru and Guillaume Martin.
Pinot's groups is now showing as just 13 seconds down. That's incredible work from Alexey Lutsenko to close that gap, who did so in service of his leader, Jakob Fuglsang.
Bennett stands to lose a minute and a half as it stands. The group with Pinot is just 30 seconds down. Porte is in the second group too.
Sagan, Van Avermaet and Trentin have made the move. Groenewegen, on the other hand, is languishing in the group behind.
25km
The break has been caught. As soon as the GC teams lit it up, their chances went out the window. With 25km left in the stage, we can expect full gas, hammer and tongs until the finish line now.
The second group (with Pinot, Uran and Nibali in) is 27 seconds down.
Uran, Fuglsang, Pinot, Nibali. A lot of the big names have been caught out and are in the third group on the road.
George Bennett is in fact in the fourth group. Thomas, Bernal and Alaphilippe are in the second group, while the breakaway still has a small gap.
