Right let's wrap it up there. The riders need a rest and so do I after a thrilling three days in the Pyrenees (not that I've done much in comparison).

The Brits are still in charge, as are Team Sky, and now it is up to their rivals to try and shake things up during the second week.

We are back on Tuesday with stage 10 from Escaldes-Engordany to Revel.

It should be fascinating. A la prochaine.
