Marc Soler was able to reach the front group. After all, he has Rafal Majka as a teammate.
106,9
Phil Bauhaus retires from the Tour de France. The Bahrain rider – Victorious won one second and one third place at this year’s Tour.
108,5
Marc Soler cannot keep pace with the leading group and loses 23 seconds.
110

111,5
The loss of the peloton pulled by Jumbo – Visma is currently 01:20.
113,3
Our groups joined in front. We have more than 30 riders there, including Gaudu, Bilba, Simon Yates, Thibaut Pinot, Bennot and Kelderman from Jumba, Soler and Stake Laengen from the UAE or even the dotted Ciccone.
114,2
Teammates Pogačar and Vingegaard are also attacking from the peloton. Jumba’s Kelderman and Benoot and UAE’s Soler and Stake Laengen attacked. Lutsenko from Astana completes them. This heel loses 33 seconds to the forehead. The peloton has a deficit of 01:06.
115,5
Behind them is again a group with Bilbao or Simon Yates with a loss of 15 seconds. However, it is a group that has 17 competitors.
116
The situation is changing dramatically every moment. Buchmann, Harper and O’Connor caught up to us.
116,9
Mühlberger, Hig, Skjelmose and Varmaerke have already reached the front. So we have a group of seven in front, which has a lead of 54 seconds on the peloton.

118,8
Skjelmose, Haig, Mühlberger and Vermaerke are chasing the trio. They have a loss of only 11 seconds. The peloton loses 50 seconds.
119
We climb to Cormet de Roselend (Cat. 1). The climb has a length of 20 kilometers, an average gradient of 6% and a peak of 99 kilometers before the finish line.
119,8
Alaphilippe, who also works at the head of the group, is the first to pass the premium.
120
Jumbo formed at the head of the pack and slowed the pace. This immediately provokes further attacks by riders who try to catch up with the trio at the front.
120,5
We have completed the descent from the Col des Saisies. The sprint premium will follow.
123
The trio is unable to develop a significant lead. It is still at 17 seconds.
130
The Frenchman looked around for the couple behind him until he waited for them. The escape continues in the trio. They have a lead of 17 seconds over the group of yellow Vingegaard. Gaudu loses 30 seconds to the peloton.
131,2
Alaphilippe shows off his downhill skills. Ciccone and Neilands lose a few seconds.
132
In the descent, the trio of Alaphilippe, Ciccone and Neilands becomes independent.
134
So we have a group of 32 riders at the head. Vingegaard, Pogačar and all the favorites are not missing in it. Out of the top ten, only the 9th man in the ranking, David Gaudu, did not respond to the acceleration, who has a loss of 20 seconds.
Results of the Col des Saisies mountain premium (Cat. 1):
1. G. Ciccone 10 b
2. M. Skjelmose 8 b
3. F. Gall 6 b
4. S. Yates 4 b
137
Now the racers have a long downhill and a sprint premium. We’ll see what happens now.
137,5
Ciccone starts from the peloton and goes for the win on the mountain premium.
138
The peloton caught up with the front group. So we have a really truncated main group at the head.
138,5
Likewise, the accelerating peloton swallowed them up. The two UAE riders at the front apparently do not like Jumba. The peloton is only 10 seconds behind the leading group.
138,8
Latour couldn’t hold on to the lead. Martin and Mühlberger are trying it now.
139
At the head of the peloton, Vingegaard’s Jumbo-Visma team is already dictating the pace. The loss is currently 32 seconds.
140
Powless is no longer in the front group. He could not keep the high pace that we have been following since the opening kilometers.
142,5
Even Pierre Latour is trying to get to the top. The TotalEnergies rider has a loss of 13 seconds. The peloton is already losing 30 seconds.
143,5
Stake Laengen, Jack Haig and Lawson Craddock also got ahead. The lead of the 18-member group on the peloton is 20 seconds. UAE has two competitors there.
144
Big things start to happen in the first hill. Simon Yates, Felix Gall, Thibaut Pinot and Rafal Majka jumped into the leading group.
146,3
Peter Sagan, together with Jasper Philipsen and other riders, have already backed out of the peloton and have a loss of about a minute to the main pack.
147
So another group is forming. It has 11 riders and 10 seconds so far. It includes: Harper, O’Connor, Skjelmose, Ciccone, Neilands, Gregaard, Champoussin, Powless, Uran, Costa and Lafay.
148
Everything has come together for us and we are waiting for further attacks.
149,4
Alaphilipp’s effort did not last long, but the peloton is now only 10 seconds behind the leading group. We can expect its absorption and further arrivals.
149,6
Julian Alaphilippe is attacking from the peloton, who will want to catch up with the group at the front.
150
Our competitors are already climbing the Col des Saisies. It is a premium of the first category, with a length of 13.5 kilometers, an average slope of 5.1% and the top of the premium is at the finish line 137.4 kilometers before the finish line.
152
The leading group already has a lead of 34 seconds on the peloton before the initial mountain premium.
155
A group of five cyclists formed in front of us, which has a 15-second lead. The group includes: Ciccone, Gregaard, Powless, Pedersen and Mezgec.
160
However, everything is still together. The peloton now continues with a gentle descent. The next escape attempts will come at the beginning of the climb to the Col des Saisies.
164
We are following the attempts of several riders who want to get away. Immediately after the start, Madouas, Neilands, Edmondson, Varmaerke and Durbridge tried it.
A pleasant nice day with the 17th continuation of the Tour de France. Yesterday we saw the alien performance of Jonas Vingegaard, and today Tadej Pogačar will have something to repay him if he still wants to think about the overall championship on the old lady.
Today’s stage can be described as royal. It has the most climbed meters, of which there are 5400 on the route. In total, a portion of more than 165 kilometers with four mountain premiums awaits the competitors:
28.4 km – 1. cat. Col des Saisies – 13.4 km, 5.1%
66.7 km – 1st cat. Cormet de Roselend – 19.9 km, 6%
105.7 km – 2. cat Longefoy Coast – 6.6 km , 7.5%
159.1 km – HC kat. Col de la Loze – 28.1 km, 6%
From the last climb, it is still over six kilometers to the finish in Courchevel. In addition, the Col de la Loze climb is at an altitude of 2304 meters above sea level and bonus seconds are awarded on it. So let’s see who can fight the best with this altitude.
Tomáš Hládek wishes you a nice day with the 17th stage of the Tour de France.
We welcome you to the online transmission. The event will begin at 1:30 p.m.
