52km to go: Here we go then. I would call it the business end of stage eight, but it’s safe to say there has been plenty of business already.
The front group has hit the Côte de Mont-Saxonnex - the Col de Romme and the Col de la Colombière, also category-one climbs, are still to come. Here we go! 2.22pm BST
57km to go: Poels is caught. Juul-Jensen powers along at the front of the peloton, working for his team leader Yates, who will have his eyes on a stage win. Bury-born Yates said yesterday after the stage that he would feel tired going into these stages, which should suit him better, after the manic day yesterday. But he must be feeling OK having made it into this group.
Meanwhile - Valverde is dropped from the lead group. The gap between break and the second group - which contains 135 riders, including Van der Poel and Van Aert - is 3’37”.
