The cobbles made a triumphant return to the Tour de France as an enthralling stage played out en route from Seraing to Cambrai.

Tony Martin emerged victorious, while the GC men also impressed, as the cobbles and crosswinds made for an epic stage.

It was a stage which kept us guessing until the very end, with both the stage hunters and the overall contenders putting big efforts in to rid themselves of their rivals on the cobblestones.

And Sirotti was on hand to capture the action. Relive the stage through the lens in the wide-screen gallery below.
