Vingegaard, second, keeps the yellow jersey
Tadej Pogacar won the 17th stage of the Tour de France, from Saint-Gaudens to Peyragudes of 129.7 km. In the Pyrenees there is no space for the day's escape because the big names fight from the first ascent, the Col d'Aspin.
On the ascent to Val Louron amazing work by Brandon McNulty to which only his captain Tadej Pogacar and the yellow jersey remain glued Jonas Vingegaard while behind them, detached, Geraint Thomas, Nairo Quintana and David Gaudu try to defend themselves. Black crisis, however, for Adam Yates.
On the uphill arrival we expect the Slovenian's sprint but he does not arrive: the first two of the general classification will play the sprint stage on the demanding final ramp with Pogacar beating a Vingegaard who appeared in total control.
McNulty crowns his big day with third place, Thomas fourth at over two minutes.
