The Tour de France had been explosive and dramatic until today, but stage 17 was a whole other picture. The queen stage devastated the peloton and saw Tadej Pogacar implode on the Col de la Loze as Jonas Vingegaard sealed the overall classification.
The 28-kilometer ascent proved too harsh at the end of the day for Pogacar who had a bad day on the bike. Vingegaard had a strong ascent taking enough time to now have a comfortable lead, whilst Felix Gall won the stage out of a luxury breakaway which included many GC contenders and Top10 riders.

- The UCI adheres to some archaic rules but does not consider serious infringements.🙄
- Isn't he on 6 million a year? Someone knows?
- Just a bit dizzy from having to take all those corners.
- That 2nd acceleration during the 1st.. Pheww.. Simply world class.
- Wuyts needs to take his pills. Van Aert was the only one of all 5 favourites that didn't carry out a real attack. Pogacar twice, Pedersen, Bettiol, MvdP..
- Ganna's gold medal win was really something. Bigham is position is very aerodynamic. Bigham was 2.2 s up at 3.25 k mark and Ganna won making up the deficit in 0.75 k.
- Nobody skips the Worlds!!
- He better could have skipped the Worlds. Someone needs to protect him from his own ambition.
- Their tactic was okay. But what tactics take into account the weather and the Mathieu van der Poel phenomenon
