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

The second stage of the weekend ended up like the first one with a Tour de France debutant from Astana taking his first stage victory as Magnus Cort Nielsen mimicked Omar Fraile in Carcassonne, also at the end of a long breakaway. For the first time, the Kazakh team claimed back to back victories (since 2007). Cort Nielsen is the 12th Dane to win a Tour de France stage, 48 years after the first one, Mogens Frey in 1970. Geraint Thomas retained the yellow jersey.

151 riders took the start of stage 15 in Millau. Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) was the first attacker while Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) was the first rider in difficulty right after the flag off. Julian Alaphilippe (Quick Step) took two more KOM points at the top of côte de Luzençon (km 9), after which Anthony Perez (Cofidis) attacked by himself. Warren Barguil (Fortuneo-Samsic) and Yates rode away at km 19. Georg Mühlberger (Bora-Hansgrohe) rejoined them on kilometre further. The main breakaway of the day was formed at km 43 by 29 riders: Daniel Martínez (EF Education First), Silvan Dillier (Ag2r La Mondiale), Nikias Arndt (Team Sunweb), Amäel Moinard and Florian Vachon (Fortuneo - Samsic), Sonny Colbrelli, Ion Izagirre and Domenico Pozzovivo (Bahrain - Merida), Damian Howson and Daryl Impey (Mitchelton - Scott), Daniele Bennati, Imanol Erviti and Marc Soler (Movistar Team), Greg van Avermaet (BMC Racing Team), Niki Terpstra (Quick-Step Floors), Peter Sagan, Rafal Majka and Pawel Poljanski (Bora - Hansgrohe), Magnus Cort and Michael Valgren (Astana Pro Team), Serge Pauwels (Team Dimension Data), Arthur Vichot (Groupama - FDJ), Lilian Calmejane, Fabian Grellier and Romain Sicard (Direct Energie), Bauke Mollema, Julien Bernard and Toms Skujins (Trek - Segafredo) and Jesús Herrada (Cofidis).

Approaching his native province of the Tarn, Calmejane rode away solo at km 56 and stayed in the lead by himself until km 72 after cresting the 2nd category col de Sié at the front. Grellier, also from Direct Energie, went alone with 72km to go. Six kilometres further, Bernard rejoined him and won the intermediate sprint at Mazamet, 60km before the end in Carcassonne. Majka bridged the gap to Grellier and Bernard at half way into the climb to Pic de Nore. The Pole continued on his own until he got caught by seven chasers with 14km to go: Izagirre, Pozzovivo, Cort, Valgren, Calmejane, Mollema and Skujins. 7km before the finish, Mollema sped up and took Cort and Izagirre with him.

Izagirre attacked with 1.5km to go. Mollema and Cort Nielsen reacted. The Astana rider, competing against two former stage winners of the Tour de France, was the fastest of the leading trio. He logically became the first Dane to win a stage since Nicki Sorensen (stage 12 from Tonnerre to Vittel in 2009). The peloton crossed the line with a deficit of 13 minutes. Geraint Thomas remained in the lead of the overall ranking ahead of the second rest day.

Here our stage 15 live updates:

The first climb came at only the 9th kilometer. Julian Alaphilippe, who leads the mountains classification, was first to the top the of Côte de Luzençon. While he was off the front, lots of riders were being dropped.

Km 25: Warren Barguil, Georg Muhlberger and Adam Yates are about a half-minute in front of the pack. More than 40 dropped riders are chasing the peloton.

Km 60: The trio were soon reeled in. A few kilometers later there was a counterattack that saw 30 riders escape. On the ascent of the Col de Sié, Lilian Calmejane is a minute ahead of what is now a group of 28, and more than five minutes ahead of the peloton.

The highest ranked rider in the break is Greg van Avermaet, who is 29min 2sec behind Yellow Jersey Geraint Thomas.

Km 88: Calmejane was reeled in (or more likely decided to give up) at about km 80. We've got a group of 29 riders that includes Green Jersey Peter Sagan that is 6min 12 ahead of the peloton. The easy pace has allowed the riders who were dropped on Côte de Luzençon to rejoin the pack.

For the detail-minded, here are the riders in the break: Daniel Martínez (EF Education First), Silvan Dillier (Ag2r La Mondiale), Nikias Arndt (Team Sunweb), Amäel Moinard and Florian Vachon (Fortuneo - Samsic), Sonny Colbrelli, Ion Izagirre and Domenico Pozzovivo (Bahrain - Merida), Damian Howson and Daryl Impey (Mitchelton - Scott), Daniele Bennati, Imanol Erviti and Marc Soler (Movistar Team), Greg van Avermaet (BMC Racing Team), Niki Terpstra (Quick-Step Floors), Peter Sagan, Rafal Majka and Pawel Poljanski (Bora - Hansgrohe), Magnus Cort and Michael Valgren (Astana Pro Team), Serge Pauwels (Team Dimension Data), Arthur Vichot (Groupama - FDJ), Lilian Calmejane, Fabian Grellier and Romain Sicard (Direct Energie), Bauke Mollema, Julien Bernard and Toms Skujins (Trek - Segafredo) and Jesús Herrada (Cofidis).

Km 120: They got itchy in the break. After a few attacks (two were by Tom Skujins) Julien Bernard and Fabien Grellier escaped the break. They have a minute on the other 27 riders. The peloton seems to be uninterested and the gap to the bunch is more than eleven minutes.

Km 130: On the ascent of the Pic de Nore, Bernard and Grellier are 1min 45sec ahead of the big break with Peter Sagan. The pack is more than 13 minutes back.

Km 134: Peter Sagan has been dropped on the climb.

Km 170: There are 8 riders in the front group. The stage winner will surely come from them: Rafal Majka (Bora - Hansgrohe), Jon Izagirre, Domenico Pozzovivo (Bahrain - Merida), Magnus Cort, Michael Valgren (Astana Pro Team), Lilian Calmejane (Direct Energie), Bauke Mollema and Toms Skujins (Trek - Segafredo).

Peter Sagan was caught by the main peloton. Dan Martin, who had tried to escape the pack was also caught.

Km 178: There are three riders a half-minute in front of a now group of five: Bauke Mollema, Magnus Cort Nielsen & Jon Izaguirre.

The finish: Magnus Cort Nielsen wins the stage. Jon Izaguirre was second followed by Bauke Mollema.

Upon review of a video tape Gianni Moscon (Sky) was ejected from the Tour for punching Elie Gesbert (Fotuneo-Samsic)
