The race: 169 riders started the 2017 Tour's longest stage at 12:33 PM. Soon after the start, Bahrain Merida rider Ondrej Cinq abandoned because of knee pain..

Km 50: There were several breaks that the peloton gobbled up, but by km 35 twenty riders had gone clear: Jan Bakelants (AG2R-La Mondiale), Daniele Bennati (Movistar), Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo), Ben Swift (UAE), Rudy Molard (FDJ), Michael Albasini and Jens Keukeleire (Orica), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data), Gianluca Brambilla (Quick Step), Robert Kiserlovski (Katusha), Thomas De Gendt and Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Nikias Arndt (Sunweb), Julien Simon (Cofidis), Lilian Calmejane, Sylvain Chavanel and Romain Sicard (Direct Energie), Elie Gesbert, Romain Hardy and Pierre-Luc Périchon (Fortuneo-Oscaro).

They currently have a lead of 5min 41sec.

None are a GC threat. The best-placed is Bauke Mollema, 20th @ 47min 3sec.

Km 65: Sky is at the front of the peloton, which is 6min 48sec behind the break. Timo Roosen (LottoNL-Jumbo) abandoned.

Km 100: The group of 20 is being given a lot of rope. They are now 8min 22sec ahead of the peloton. Average speed so far has been 43.3 km/hr.

Km 110: The break is being pulled back a bit. The gap is 6min 50sec. Team Sky is still hard at work at the front of the peloton.

Km 140: The gap went back out to eight minutes. There are still 20 riders in the break. Thomas de Gendt won the intermediate sprint. Sky leads the peloton, followed by Ag2r and then Cannondale-Drapac.

Km 177: Romain Sicard was first over the Col du Pointu, with Robert Kiserlovski and Ellie Gesbert right with him. The Sky-led pack is 9 minutes back.

19 km to go: Jens Keukeleire attacked and created a nine-man break.

5 km to go: The nine riders are 11 minutes ahead of the peloton with 11 riders in between.

4 km to go: The attacks keep flying off and then the escapees scramble to regroup.

Bam! Edvald Boasson Hagen goes and has a gap.

1 km to go: Boasson Hagan still has a small gap.

The finish: Edvald Boasson Hagen wins the stage followed closely by Nikias Arndt. The Yellow Jersey group followed in more than 12 minutes after Boasson Hagen won the stage.

Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:

Besides French riders, Belgians outnumbered their rivals in the 20-man breakaway group on their national day but Norway's Edvald Boasson Hagen spoiled their party as he smartly rode to victory on the right side of a roundabout with 2.8km to go. He reached Salon-de-Provence by himself after coming second or third on two occasions previously in the 104th Tour de France. Chris Froome retained the yellow jersey as he finished in the bunch more than ten minutes behind the stage winner.

169 riders started stage 19 at Embrun. There were a lot of skirmishes with Belgian cyclist apparently super motivated on their national day until 20 riders managed to go clear at km 25: Jan Bakelants (AG2R-La Mondiale), Daniele Bennati (Movistar), Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo), Ben Swift (UAE), Rudy Molard (FDJ), Michael Albasini and Jens Keukeleire (Orica), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data), Gianluca Brambilla (Quick Step), Robert Kiserlovski (Katusha), Thomas De Gendt and Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Nikias Arndt (Sunweb), Julien Simon (Cofidis), Lilian Calmejane, Sylvain Chavanel and Romain Sicard (Direct Energie), Elie Gesbert, Romain Hardy and Pierre-Luc Périchon (Fortuneo-Oscaro). A time gap of 8 minutes was recorded at km 88. Teams like BMC, Bahrain-Merida and Wanty-Groupe Gobert who are yet to win a stage in the 104th Tour de France had missed the decisive move despite trying to enter the early breakaways but they didn't help Team Sky to ride behind the 20 escapees.

De Gendt celebrated his country's national day by winning the intermediate sprint in Banon (km 136.5). Keukeleire did it as well, being the first of the 20 leading riders to launch an attack with 61km to go. It was an unsuccessful one. Sicard, Gesbert and Kiserlovski rode away up the col du Pointu with less than 50km to go. More riders went on the offensive 21km before arriving in Salon-de-Provence. Bakelants, Bennati, Albasini, Keukeleire, Boasson Hagen, De Gendt, Arndt, Chavanel and Gesbert made a difference with 17km to go.

2.8km before the end, Boasson Hagen and Arndt took a roundabout on the right side while the seven other riders went left. Boasson Hagen profited from the little gap to create a bigger one and go solo to grab his third stage win at the Tour de France after he did it in Lisieux and Pinerolo for Team Sky in 2011. It's the first stage win for the Dimension Data team. The South African squad encountered success in each Tour de France they took part in so far, with Stephen Cummings in 2015, Mark Cavendish (4) and Cummings in 2016 and now Boasson Hagen. This is the 17th stage win for Norwegian riders at the Tour de France. The first one was by Dag-Otto Lauritzen in Luz-Ardiden 30 years ago and the last one was by Alexander Kristoff in Nîmes in 2014.

Team Sky descends the Côte de Bréziers

Chris Froome makes the descent with an Ag2r rider close at hand.

The break goes through Sisteron.

Edvald Boasson Hagen gets the stage.

Edvald Boasson Hagen has given Dimension Data its first stage win in this year's Tour.

Chris Froome has only two stages to go.

Organizer's Stage 19 preview:

Chris Froome and his rivals have put the mountains behind them. Starting from Embrun, still in the Hautes-Alpes close to the col d'Izoard, they don't have any grueling climb on the menu anymore. It's the fifth time for Embrun to host a start – the equivalent of Lannemezan in the Pyrenees. Those cities haven't organized a finish yet. It's a long day on the saddle for the longest stage of the 104th Tour de France with 222.5km to cover.

Eleven out of twenty-two teams haven't won a stage yet. For some of them, this is the only occasion remaining. It means a lot of riders will be motivated for going on the attack early. Small hills in the first part of stage 19 will favor a breakaway. It's not sure if any team has the resources to bring a breakaway back for a bunch sprint finish in the absence a several top sprinters. Sunweb surely has had enough success.

It's the stage for Michael Matthews to mathematically secure the green jersey the day after his team-mate Warren Barguil did it for the polka dot jersey. Salon-de-Provence welcomes the attackers.
