After back-to-back mountain stages it’s a return to flat terrain for peleton on today’s day 19 of the Tour de France.

Defending champion Chris Froome has a commanding 23-second lead in the yellow jersey ahead of the 222-kilometre stage into Salon-de-Provence.

Ireland’s Dan Martin is in sixth place overall – almost three minutes behind Froome.
