The long-time breakaway riders were eventually caught near the finish, which saw a frantic sprint between the three main protagonists. Van Aert won, followed by Hayter and Allaphillippe, leaving Hayter still in the overall lead by 4 seconds from van Aert and 21 seconds from Allaphillippe.
The Tour moves into Scotland tomorrow with a 195km stage from Hawick to Edinburgh. It'll be a hilly twisty stage with nothing too dramatic to trouble the riders except for a few cantankerous, bloody-minded sheep (some might say the same as Sportsbabble) only coralled by cattle grids. There should be good views of wind turbines and moorland until they get close to Edinburgh and the almost inevitable bunch sprint in Holyrood Park.
