Hello and welcome to the Cyclingnews live c💟overage of stage 14 of the Tour de France fro𝄹m Saint-Gaudens to Plateau de Beille. 

Bonjour and welcome to today's live coverage. This is th🌜e third stage in the Pyrenees and should be a great day of racing.

The𓂃 riders🍸 have left the start line in Saint-Gaudens but are still in the neutralsied section of the stage.

Here we go as Christian Prudhomme drops the start fl🅠ag.

And immediately riders attack. Ouch.

We haꦕve 171 riders in action today. Everyone of the finishe𝓡rs from yesterday started this third stage in the Pyrenees.

Attac༒k. Sylvain Chavanel (Quick Step) has had a dig, while behind Cadel Evans (BMC) is amongst༒ the team cars after stopping briefly. 

Evans stopped to change his bike.

The riders are ಌon a long straight♈ valley road and we from the Cyclingnews blimp, we can see the peloton lined out as they chase the early attacks.

Jesn Voigt (Leopard Trek) aℱnd David Millar (Garmin-Ce🌃rvelo) are also in the move that is going clear.

161km remaining from 168km

There a🦂re 19 riders chasing Chavanel a🦂nd they have close to a minute now.

Other riders are cꩲhasing too but are struggling to get across to the move.

This would be ಌa big breakaway group. There are no GC contenders in♈ there but this move could shape the race today.

Several teams have riders in the move to act as support for their team leaders later in the stage. There are several v🌠alley sections and a key 20km flat section before the final climb to Plateau de Beille.

Having a rider like Jens Voigt up there could✨ be vital for the Schleck brothers if they are to distance some of their GC rivals who may have been dropped on the Col d'Agnes and the Port de Lers climbs. 

As you may know, this is only the fifth time a Tour de France stage has finished🌜 at Plateau de Beil💙le. 

And the stage winner has💧 always gone on to𓆏 win the Tour de France in Paris.

The break now has 2:45 and the peloton seems to have let t🦄hem go. The huge number of riders is going to give an extra t⛎wist to the stage.

152km remaining from 168km

The riders are already on the lower slopes of the Col de Porte-d'Aspet. It was on this side of the climb that Fabio Casertelli died after crashing while descending in the 1995 Tour de France. The e꧂xact anniversary of his death is Monday, July 18.

We will shortly have all the names of the riders in the breakaway in our special Situation section on t🐟he right of the live page.

149km remaining from 168km

141km remaining from 168km

121km remaining from 168km

It is also🥂 Miguel Indurain's birthday t൩oday. He is 47.

118km remaining from 168km

The finish at Plateau de Beille is expected to see the GC contenders go on the attack. We could see the Schleck brothers take turns to attack again, while Cadel Evans could also try and gain time on Alberto Contador. Evans spoke after yesterday's stage 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:here. 

Everyone is trying to work out just how goo🌞🥂d or bad Alberto Contador is feeling. He is clearly not at his best -his heavy legs and tired expression shows that in the finale of the stages. His team manager Bjarne Riis is convinced Contador just needs a good day to get his Tour de France back on track and reduce his two minute deficit.

112km remaining from 168km

This climb is 14.1km long buಞt has a steady 🐻gradient of 5.7%.

111km remaining from 168km

Andy Schleck is a🍸t the back of the pelo🍨ton but will quickly move up with help from Maxime Monfort.

There is a distinct feelin꧂g of tension in the air. It feels like a storm is brewing, that the GC contenders will face off on the climb to Plateau de Beille.

On television Jonathan Vaughters has confirmed that Garmin-☂Cervelo will be riding for Tom Danielson today to protect his overall classification.

JV picked Voigt and Gerdemann as the strongest riders in the break. However FDJ🍬 is leading the move, working for Sandy Casar.

JV says he thinks Danielson will have aꦬ good day.

Danielson is currently tenth overall, at 4:35.

Philippe Gilbert h🌞as changed his bike but is quickly back into the peloton.

108km remaining from 168km

The bre𒊎ak is one kilometre from the꧂ summit of the climb now.

Cavendish is near the back of the bunch, digging deep to hang on. He will also fight on the descent to close any gap. Cavendish will be🙈 watched closely today after the accusation from Rojas that the HTC sprinter had taken a tow from a 🎐car.

Delage has jumped away up🍒 front, chasing the points at🍌 the summit of the Col de la Core.  

63km remaining from 168km

Of course you are!

81km remaining from 168km

79km remaining from 168km

Behind them the other riders have awoken and 🦄some are trying to get acro💖ss to Millar, Casar and El Fares.

Some riders are being dꦓropped from the big breakaway 𒀰group.

Sandy Casar (FDJ) is now the virtual race leader after his lead touched nine minutes. He started the stagꦆe 8:47 🧔behind Thomas Voeckler.  

He is unlikely to take the yellow at the end of tဣhe stage but it is still an aggressive r♛ide by the little Frenchman.

Leopard Trek ha💎ve noticed that the Europcar team is struggling to contorl the race. Like a big brother, they have stepped in taken over the chase.

Stuart O'Grady is on the front and spitting riders out of꧃ the back.

U🧜p front, Millar has his jersey open as he cl♕imbs with Casar and El Fares.

﷽Jeremy Roy is wearing the♊ polka-dot jersey but is suffering behind. He has been dropped by the Leopard Trek lead peloton.

74km remaining from 168km

Riders are slipping out of the back in small groups. They will have to join forces to create the gruppetto and ride together to finish iꦡnside the time limit.

Thor Hush♔ovdꦦ is also gapped on the climb after his huge effort to win yesterday's stage.

Millar is leading dow﷽n the descent. He bumped roun🌸d a hairpin but accelerates quickly.

68km remaining from 168km

Riblon has caught the Millar trio, meaning we ha🌄ve a quartet at the front of the race.

Riblon has caught 🌱the Millar♑ trio, meaning we have a quartet at the front of the race.

Riblon won t♑he stage to Ax-3 Domaines last year. He's a big guy but can climb pretty well.

David 🌌Millar was looking good in the move but has now ꦉbeen dropped as the gradient kicks in. This is a tough climb.

Leopard Trek are all over t🍌he front of the peloton, upping the pace to set up the Schl𒉰ecks. 

65km remaining from 168km

Millar is falling back and shakes his heꦑad as Egot Silin (Katuꦐsha) moves clear and persues the breakaway.  

Silin is closing the gap but Vo🍸igt and others are 💯closing too. 

The four look back as there♔ is a regrouping of 12 or so riders up front. 

The speed is slow o⛦n the climb because the gradient is so steep. The early and middle sections are especially tough. 

Ouch! The road switches up the♚ side of the mountain. It is spectacular ❀to see but most be very painful to ride.  

Stuart O'Grady is🤪 still on the front, setting the pace. He's got Fabian Cancellara just behind him as Leopar💖d Trek continue to set the pace and control the race.

Gerdemann gets on back on the break and gets some encouragment from Jens Voigt in💜 German. The two could paly ak♏ey role later in the stage for the Schlecks.   

The Col d'Agnes reaches an altitude of 1570 metres, only 200 lower than the summit🎀 finish at Plateau de Beille.

60km remaining from 168km

60km remaining from 168km

The break is close to the summit of the Col d'A🔯gnes.

Here goes Chౠarteau but Chavanel pips him to the 𓃲line and takes the climber's points.

57km remaining from 168km

Gorka Izagirre Insausti (Euskaltel-Euskadi) is leading the 11 riders down the descent, as the peloton is close to the summit. There꧙ are only 40 or ♍so riders in the peloton, as david Arroyo (Movistar) struggles slightly.

Voeckler grabs aꦅ newspaper at the summit and puts it under his yellow jersey. It's old style but it works. And no rider wants to get a chill on the descent.   

Once again Cyclingnews and Easton Cycling have teamed up for a contest during the♓ Tour.

Crash! Larens ten Dam (Rabobank) went off the road and then went over the handlebars. He went down hard and cut his nose but does not seem seriܫously hurt.

51km remaining from 168km

Contador is tucked in the peloton, on Ivan Basso's whe🤪el, with Cadel Eva⭕ns just behind him. 

Tom Danielson iꦦs there too, protected by Christian Vande Velde.

Up front, Gorka Izagirre Insausti (Euskaltel-Eus💧kadi) is first over the top of the Port des Lers. He now faces a long descent𝔍 to the foot of Plateau de Beille.

48km remaining from 168km

Chute! Voigt has gone off the road.

He is okay and landed on the grass. He went off on a tight corner. He is lucky it could be a🌜 lot worse for ✤the tough German.

Voigt is back riding but taking things a lot slower now.. He'll probab⛦ly wait for the peloton 🌱now and join in the work with his teammates.

There are 50 or so riders in the peloton now.

Ouch. Voigt crashes again. His wheel lock🐼ed up and he went down on his right side.

He is not happy and shouts something at the television🍃 camera to leave him alone.

38km remaining from 168km

Despite the earlier crashes, the pelot🌞on is hurtling down the mountain at top speed. Riders in the break up ahead are on flatter ground and taking time to drop back to the team cars for advice.

Gorka Izigir🌺re has 50 seconds on the chase group of 10 riders now, with Jens Voigt stuck between the second grꦇoup on the road and the 9-rider group containing David Millar.

Jens Voigt is on his way back to the Leopard Trek-led peloton, but five minutes ahead there are three groups: up front, it's still Gorka Izagirre with nearly a minute on the chase group including Linus Gerdemann, David Millar, Marco Marcato et al.  We have an attack of Luis Leon Sanchez (Rabobank) from the chasing group, but he's getting no 🍌help from Marcato.

David Millar now gives it a go. Theဣ group is much too big to work together smoo🅰thly.

He's got Ruben Perez Moreno (Eusk🐲altel-Euskadi), Bauke Mollema (Rabobank Cycling Team), Julien El Fares (Cofidis) in pursuit and Marcato 💧with Millar - but once more they cannot get any cooperation.

25km remaining from 168km

Gorka Iza𝓡girre Insa𓄧usti (Euskaltel-Euskadi) is still out front but the others are hunting him down.

However the big question is what will ha♛ppen behind.

Contador is also tucked over the bars, sit🔯ting on the back of the Leopard Trek train.

20km remaining from 168km

Thomas Voeckler is fighting to hold a wheel. We will soon ꧒find out if he can keep the yellow jersey. He has a 1:49 lead on Frank Schleck. Will it be enough? 

The pe💯loton is blasting to the foot of the climb. The race will soon e🍒xplode on the steep lower slopes.

There are huge crowds as the riders pass through the village at the start of the ♛climb. Here we go!

There are huge crowds as the riders pass through the village at the start of the cliꦡmb. Here we go!

The remains of the break are just behind him.

Several sections are at over 10%.

Cancellara has swung off as the peloton hits the climb. Monfort is noe on the front setting the tempo, ahead of Voig𝕴t.

Contador is next to last in the 12-rider group.

Andy Sch꧑leck keeps trying attacks but they're short-lived and not very effective.

Vanenert𝄹 has blasted past Casar and now🧔 has 15 seconds.

Provisional stage result:

Provisional GC:

Well that was an aggressive butཧ finaslly balanced mountain stage. 

Jelle Vanendert (Omega Pharma-Lotto) was a deserved winner but behind him it is still too early toඣ understand who can go on to win the Tour de France. All the big names and possible even Thomas Voeckler could even win. We will know more in the Alps next week.
