Weather at the city of Loudenvielle, on the route, 5 km from the finish, at 1:10 PM, local time: 23C (73F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the northwest at 6 km/hr (4 mph). There is just a 2% chance of rain.

Rated ascents:

  • Km 81.6: Hourquette d'Ancizan, 8.2 km @ 5.1%. Cat. 2

The race: Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal) is Covid-19 positive and did not start. Also, Rafal Majka (UAE Team Emirates and a valuable Pogacar teammate) has dropped out. "He sustained a strain injury to his thigh after some mechanical trouble on stage 16 when his chain broke", his team doctor communicated. "This resulted in a high-grade partial thickness tear of his right quadriceps muscle, and unfortunately due to the muscle damage is unable to ride."

The left 144 riders in the peloton when it was given the official start at 1:22 PM.

Here's the race organizer's stage 17 summary:

Tadej Pogacar claimed his third stage victory of the 109th Tour de France at Peyragudes, beating Jonas Vingegaard in a two-man vertical sprint but the Dane retained the yellow jersey in the second of three Pyrenean stages. Brandon McNulty rounded out the podium of stage 17 after he pulled for Pogacar in the hills. Geraint Thomas managed to hold onto his third place overall.

144 riders took the start of stage 17 at 13.22. 2 non-starters: Rafal Majka (UAE Team Emirates) and Tim Wellens (Lotto-Soudal).

There were many attacks and accelerations, but except for Connor Swift (Arkea-Samsic) and Dylan van Baarle (Ineos Grenadier), for a little while none of the breakaway attempts worked out. Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) won the intermediate sprint ahead of Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) at La Barthe-sur-Nest (km 32.9). Owain Doull (EF Education-EasyPost) and Guillaume Boivin (Israel-Premier Tech) went clear off the peloton at km 44. More than 50km were covered in the first hour of racing. The Canadian couldn’t follow the Briton at the beginning of the ascent to col d’Aspin.

Right after Doull was reeled in, Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) and Alexey Lutsenko (Astana) managed to go clear 8km before the summit. Pinot crested Col d’Aspin in first position before Lutsenko while Geschke defended his polka dot jersey crossing in third place.

A group of 15 was formed behind the leading duo before Romain Bardet (DSM) attacked from the peloton and made the junction with the counter-attackers. Pinot and Lutsenko, again in the same order atop La Hourquette d’Ancizan, were timed 45’’ ahead of the 15-man chasing group and 1’20’’ ahead of the yellow jersey peloton from which Adam Yates (Ineos Grenadier) was dropped off.

Pinot and Lutsenko were reeled in by their 14 chasers 30km before the finish. Leknessund attacked in the ascent to Val Louron-Azet. Rigoberto Uran (EF Education-EasyPost) chased him down but with no success while Pinot, Bardet and their companions were reeled in and later dropped by Vingegaard and Pogacar.

2.5km before the top of Val Louron, a leading trio was formed with Brandon McNulty, Vingegaard and Pogacar, the American from UAE Team Emirates setting a high tempo to prepare an offensive by the defending champion.

Pogacar attacked just before the summit but it only enabled him to crest Val Louron-Azet (cat. 1) in first position and the trio was back together again in the downhill with McNulty paving the way.

10km before the end, Kuss, Bardet, Leknessund, Lutsenko and Thomas were 1’15’’ adrift. The final ascent didn’t change the race scenario as McNulty kept pulling with Pogacar and Vingegaard in his slipstream. Thomas defended his third place overall by showing he’s the “best of the rest” after the two giants of the 109th Tour de France.

Stage 17 photos by Fotoreporter Sirotti:

Tadej Pogacar had just a little more in the tank, allowing him to win the stage and gain a net 4 seconds of time bonus.

The two spent warriors after the stage.

In this Tour there are these two then everyone else.

Brandon McNulty leading Vingegaard and Pogacar. He would soon drop off and finish third, at 32sec.

Geraint Thomas riding to 4th place.

Alexey Lutsenko riding to 5th place.

After a terrible stage 16, Romain Bardet came back fighting. He finished 6th today.

Nairo Quintana leads Aleksandr Vlasov and David Gaudu

Another shot of Quintana leading Gaudu.

12th place Enric Mas

Valentin Madouas finished 13th.

Bob Jungels riding to 15th place

Dylan van Baarle (INEOS) leads Luis Leon Sanchez

Stage winner Tadej Pogacar.

GC leader Jonas Vingegaard. Defending the jersey tomorrow will be no cakewalk with a hilltop finish at Hautacam.
