100km to go
These are the 24 riders in the attack.
Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step), Jonathan Castroviejo (Ineos Grenadiers), Damiano Caruso and Kamil Gradek (Bahrain-Victorious), Juan Pedro Lopez and Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier (Lidl-Trek), Clement Davy and Michael Storer (FDJ), Lennard Kamna (Bora-Hansgrohe), Kaden Groves (Alpecin-Deceuninck), Lennert Van Eetvelt (Lotto Dstny), Stefan Bissegger and Sean Quinn (EF Education), Rui Costa, Julius Johansen and Simone Petilli (Intermarché), Nelson Oliveira (Movistar), Andre Carvalho and Ruben Fernandez (Cofidis), Romain Bardet and Alberto Dainese (DSM-Firmenich), Kevin Vauquelin and Kevin Ledanois (Arkéa Samsic), and Joel Nicolau (Caja Rural).
Meanwhile the peloton seems to have eased off the pace.
Four riders are trying to bridge across to the Evenepoel attack.
This is the break of the day.

105km to go
The gap is up to 1:15 but other riders are trying to get across and keep the attack under control.
Riders grab a bidon and a musette for a quick feed.
It's 34C out on the road and so liquids and ice are vital.
110km to go
Several teams have missed the breakaway and so are leading the chase.
But the gap is up to 1:00 as the 24 riders work together in a chaingang.
UAE do not seem happy with the break and are leading the chase.
That keeps Jumbo-Visma happy, they have needed to chase at all yet.
The break has gone but other riders are trying to get across.
The riders are working together and the peloton has let them open a 40-second gap.
Could this be the move of the day?
There are 20 or so riders in the attack, including several sprinters, who are perhaps trying to avoid any risks with the time cut later on.
Other riders have joined him as the high-speed racing continues.
Evenepoel is on the attack again.
This is a show of real pride from the young Belgian.
Ouch!
The average speed for the opening 30 minutes is 51.6km/h. That will hurt.
Teams are trying to get their domestiques and climbers in the break but they face 50km of flat roads before the mountains begin.
130km to go
The riders are blasting through corn fields on flat roads.
There are more attacks but equally as many chases.
135km to go
More attacks!
The peloton is 300 metres long as the Evenepoel group is caught.
Gruppo compatto.

Geraint Thomas is also there, but the peloton is not letting them go.
Eight riders have joined Evenepoel as they race at 50km/h.
This was the start.
⏪⚡ Arranca la etapa y vemos los primeros ataques. 👀 ¿Será día para la fuga hoy? 💨 Attacks from the drop of the flag! Could be a big fight for the breakaway today.#LaVuelta23 pic.twitter.com/Rsas2D1QxYSeptember 9, 2023
140km to go
Evenepoel is pushing on with his attack.
Nelson Oliveira (Movistar) is with Evenepoel but the peloton is moving fast too.
Bam! He goes again. Remco Evenepoel has attacked again.
150km to go
The attacks are constantly chased down and then a new attack goes.
Evenepoel is out of the GC battle but is clearly keen to fight back.
Wow! Remco Evenepoel is also up front, trying to get in the break of the day.
They're off!
And the pace is high, with Thomas De Gendt upping the pace.
We're still trying to take in what happened yesterday. It was a huge stage.
1km until the flag drops.
We're expecting lots of attacks from riders trying to get in the break of the day.
The stage seems ideal for a quality breakaway from the best climbers in the Vuelta but the mountain finish atop the Puerto de Belagua at 1587m also offers an opportunity for the GC contenders to attack and gain some seconds on their rivals.
The stage starts on the flatter roads between Pau and the coast but soon climbs high into the Pyrenees.
The opening 50 kilometres are in the valley roads, perhaps making it difficult for a break to get away. Then the 11km Col Hourcere on the Spanish border will hurt, and so will the Puerto de Larrau.
The profile of the Puerto de Larrau includes lots of dark red sectors, confirming gradients over 10%. A dip near the summit reduces the average gradient to 8.9% across the 14.9km climb but this will hurt.
This is the stage profile.
As the Cyclingnews live blimp takes height, the riders are rolling towards the official start.
Today's stage is over 156.5km but there is a 9.1km neutralised section before the official start.
