Tour de France, stage 8

Julian Alaphilippe (RSR) got up to contest the finish today and claimed third place as Peter Sagan (SNO) could only manage fifth.

Alaphilippe reclaims the yellow jersey as Adam Yates (SNO) moves up to twelfth overall with Dan Martin (RSR) sixteenth.

Sagan looks increasingly secure in green with Greg van Avermaet (RSR) now up to sixth on points as Caleb Ewan, also for Lisa, drops to seventh. Alaphilippe is now up to eighth in that competition.

Alaphilippe is our best placed rider on the mountains classification, down now to fourteenth after today's stage.

Scores: RSR=8, SNO=0
