Weather at Servance, a city sitting between the day's two climbs, at 2:00 PM, local time: 28C (82F), sunny, with the wind from the west at 8 km/hr (5mph). No rain is forecast.

Rated ascents:

The race: For the first stage in this year's Tour with a mountaintop finish, 193 riders started at 1:20 PM. Mark Cavendish did not start after fracturing his shoulder blade in yesterday's crash and Peter Sagan was expelled.

A break went almost at the start of the stage. There are some rather fine riders in the group of eight: Jan Bakelants (AG2R-La Mondiale), Mickaël Delage (FDJ), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data), Philippe Gilbert (Quick-Step Floors), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), Thomas Voeckler (Direct Energie), Dylan Van Baarle (Cannondale-Drapac) and Pierre-Luc Périchon (Fortuneo-Oscaro). With 26 kilometers ridden, the break's lead is 3min 30sec. BMC is leading the peloton. Richie Porte must be hungry for a win today.

Km 65: BMC is still working at the front and closing the gap to the break, which is now just a little more than 2min.

Km 100: The peloton seems to have decided that a 2min gap is what it wants. Approaching the day's first ascent, the third-category Côte d'Esmoulières, the break is two minutes up the road.

Km 112: Jan Bakelants went clear on the ascent while Mickael Delage was dropped from the breakaway. The peloton is 2min 50sec behind Bakelants.

Km 122: Bakelants was caught. There are now six riders off the front: Jan Bakelants (AG2R-La Mondiale), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data), Philippe Gilbert (Quick-Step Floors), Thomas Voeckler (Direct Energie), Dylan Van Baarle (Cannondale-Drapac) and Pierre-Luc Périchon (Fortuneo-Oscaro). The peloton, led by BMC, is 2min 35sec back.

Km 145: The sprinters are starting to drop off in the face of the coming difficult climb. The six breakaway riders are 1min 46 ahead of the field as the peloton starts to speed up. Astana now helping BMC at the front of the peloton. The contenders are moving up, making sure they are well-positioned for what will surely be some tough kilometers near the finish.

Km 148: Bam! Philippe Gilbert attacks from the lead group. He was joined by Jan Bakelants.

Km 155: Things are red hot with Gilbert/Bakelants just a half-minute ahead of the charging Sky-led pack.

4 km to go: All the breakaway riders are caught. Team Sky leads the pack, what's left of it. The big GC dogs seem to be all there.

2 km to go: Fabio Aru attacks. Sky lets him go.

The finish: Fabio Aru wins the stage! Dan Martin is second, followed by Froome and Porte. Chris Froome now leads the Tour de France.

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

Three years after Vincenzo Nibali imposed himself with the Italian champion jersey, Astana's Fabio Aru soloed to victory at La Planche des belles filles. In the overall ranking, Geraint Thomas and Chris Froome swapped positions. The three-times winner is back in the yellow jersey.

193 riders started stage 5 in Vittel. Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) was the only non-starter after he fractured his right shoulder blade. Eight riders went clear from the gun: Jan Bakelants (AG2R-La Mondiale), Mickaël Delage (FDJ), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data), Philippe Gilbert (Quick-Step Floors), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), Thomas Voeckler (Direct Energie), Dylan Van Baarle (Cannondale-Drapac) and Pierre-Luc Périchon (Fortuneo-Oscaro). Tsgabu Grmay (Bahrain-Merida) rode in between for a while before he was instructed to wait for the peloton. From km 20 to km 30, the time gap was 3.30 but at the difference of Team Sky who let them go, BMC Racing Team decided to chase the breakaway down. After 50km of racing, the deficit of the peloton was stabilized at 2.30.

Boasson Hagen won the intermediate sprint (km 102.5) in which Michael Matthews (Sunweb) started to regain points in his duel with green jersey holder Arnaud Démare (FDJ). Bakelants sped up to take two KOM points at the côte d'Esmoulières (km 107.5). Delage and De Gendt couldn't hold the pace of the group uphill. The six remaining leaders had the same advantage over the peloton with 45km to go: 2.30. Within 20km to go, some teams finally joined BMC in the chase: Astana, AG2R-La Mondiale… Gilbert and Bakelants rode away with 14km to go, approaching the final ascent to La Planche des belles filles.

Team Sky took the command of the peloton just before climbing. They reeled Gilbert and Bakelants in with 4km to go. Fabio Aru (Astana) attacked with 2.4km to go. He caught the right moment. Chris Froome (Sky) reacted, followed by Dan Martin (Quick-Step Floors), Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale) and Richie Porte (BMC). It cost the yellow jersey to his team-mate Geraint Thomas. Five years after taking his first Tour de France stage victory at La Planche des belles filles, Froome is back into the lead of the overall ranking at the same place.

With all the practice he's had, you'd think Chris Froome wouldn't need any help putting on the yellow jersey,

Organizer's Stage 5 preview:

After three consecutive stages being longer than 200km, a shorter one will lead to a brutal uphill finish. La Planche des belles filles is a 5.9km long climb with an average gradient of 8.5% and a very steep top end that was asphalted for the first visit of the Tour de France in 2012. It was meant to not be a one-off when the road to the charming little ski resort of the Haute-Saône became part of the route. It is the third visit in six editions indeed.

Chris Froome took his first ever Tour de France stage win at La Planche des belles filles the year he helped Bradley Wiggins to triumph in Paris and he remains unbeaten up there as he didn't reach that point in 2014, being forced to withdraw on stage 5. Vincenzo Nibali was the second stage winner of La Planche and that's where he took the yellow jersey for good.

Three years ago, Thibaut Pinot was second to the Italian. The Frenchman is the enfant du pays in the Haute-Saône. Having poorly recovered from the Giro d'Italia (4th overall), he purposely lost some time (almost four minutes) on stage 3 in order to have the freedom to make a breakaway before the final climb. At the difference of 2014, there's no serious hill before the Planche des belles filles but a lot of false flat sections favor offensive riders. It'll be a tense last third of the stage and an opportunity for Richie Porte to threaten the dominating position of Team Sky but also a strong possibility for Chris Froome to be back in the yellow jersey.
