Hello and welcome to live - albeit slightly delayed because of a train strike, so apologies - coverage of stage 7 of La Vuelta, a 185.7km ride from Puerto-Lumbreras to Pozo Alcon.

Confirmation that Michal Kwiatkowski drops from second to sixth on GC after having to chase back following that crash. The Pole is now 1'06" down.

The likes of Kruijswijl, Lopez, Aru, De la Cruz, Buchmann, Pinot, Bennett, Yates and Quintana all finished in the main chase group of 28 riders as Kwiatkowski came home 30 seconds down in a group that also included Formolo and Zakarin. Dan Martin was a whopping 4'27" down after his problems.

With that victory, Tony Gallopin rises to fifth on GC as well - 59 seconds down on leader Rudy Molard. In between we have Alejandro Valverde +47, Emanuel Buchmann +48 and Simon Yates +51.

Here's the moment Tony Gallopin picked up his first Vuelta stage win.

Rudy Molard was in that main group so the Frenchman retains the red jersey after that hectic final 15km of racing today.

Eduard Prades (Euskadi-Murias) and Omar Fraile (Astana) completed the top five ahead of the likes of Rigo Uran, Ion Izagirre, Enric Mas and Wilco Kelderman. They were five seconds down - and the Kwiatkowski group came home around 31 seconds down, so the Pole will drop out of the top five perhaps.

Peter Sagan (Bora-Hangrohe) took second place ahead of Alejandro Valverde (Movistar). Both riders will be kicking themselves for letting Gallopin go...

Victory for Tony Gallopin (Ag2R-La Mondiale). The Frenchman has time to look over his shoulder and see the chasers sweep up the hill behind him - but he's too far ahead and the win is his.

There's no chase and it looks like the Frenchman has pulled off a huge coup here...

Under the flamme rouge for Gallopin - can he hold on with that uphill ramp to the line?

Rafal Majka is leading the chase for the 40-strong chase group - but the Kwiaktowski group is still 30 seconds down.

Under the 2-to-go banner and Gallopin is out ahead on his own now after Herrada was reeled in.

Tony Gallopin dances clear in pursuit of Herrada.

The six chasers are back with a select 40-man group.

Geoghagen Hart is in this six-man group too for Sky - doing some sandbagging, what with his team-mate Kwiatkowski still 30 seconds back.

Six riders are off the front now in pursuit of Herrada - including Quintana, Bennett, Ion Izagirre and Lopez.

It's Jesus Herrada who is in front. Kwiatkowski is leading the chase himself on the front of a 30-strong chasing group. Bennett is looking feisty on the front of the main pack, with QUintana right behind.

One of the Herrada brothers attacks for Cofidis. He has a small gap. Kwiatkowski is 35 seconds back of a regrouping main pack.

It's going downhill again and Kwiatkowski is still fighting to get back on. He has team-mate Henao with him but it's going to be a big ask.
