Tour De France: Stage Seven - Live

The peloton clambers through another mountainous stage - who will come out on top? Find out with John Ashdown from 1.30pm
Under glorious sunny skies they're off.

Preamble: Afternoon folks and welcome to live coverage of stage eight of Le Tour. It's another hilly one, though nothing like as severe as yesterday. We begin in the medieval town of Brioude and end 159km later by the Cère river in Aurillac, and in between we've got three sprints and two leg-sapping category two climbs. The second, up to Pas de Peyrol, is something of a beast.

For a more detailed breakdown of the stage, why not take a peak (do you see what I did there? No? Never mind) at our Interactive guide. I certainly have, and very informative it is too. Equally informative is Will Fotheringham - he's written all about yesterday right here.
