He did a lot of damage yesterday but this was surely the day where Jonas Vingegaard cemented his second successive Tour de France victory. Scroll back to see how he did it, or read our developing report.

After all that climbing today, Thursday is a stage for the sprinters - a flat 184.9km route from Moutiers to Bourg-en-Bresse. Plenty to look forward to at the finish there too, but bye for now.

An exhausted Pogacar is met by his team-mates and a scrum of media as he slowly comes to a halt. Vingegaard now leads him by seven minutes and 35 seconds in the General Classification, while Britain's Adam Yates is still in third place.

Here comes Tadej Pogacar, pain etched on his face... Marc Soler helps him over the finish line.

We are still waiting for Tadej Pogacar to finish.

Here's the first five finishers on stage 17:

1. Felix Gall

2. Simon Yates

3. Pello Bilbao

4. Jonas Vingegaard

5. David Gaudu

Vingegaard kisses his hand as he crosses the line. Tadej Pogacar won't be here for a good while yet.

Pello Bilbao takes third before Vingegaard forces his way over the line in fourth. He didn't get the stage win today but he has essentially won the Tour de France today.

Here comes Simon Yates, finishing second for the second time on this year's Tour... Vingegaard is on the finish ramp too, with Pello Bilbao.

What a superb effort.

One last look over his shoulder - Gall knows victory is his.

Gall is not going to be caught from here.

Here we go, the last 500m are all uphill at 18%.

Gall is into the last kilometre, and about to hit the steep runaway that forms the home straight.... he has got 20 seconds to play with.

Pogacar, meanwhile, has only just reached the summit of the Col de la Loze.

Gall and Yates are flying downhill at the moment. The gap is up again, to 20 seconds.

Simon Yates brings the gap down to 16 seconds... no, 15. The ramp at the finish will make things interesting, because it's got an 18% gradient.

So, Felix Gall is 18 seconds ahead of Simon Yates in the battle for the stage win. Vingegard is with Gaudu and Bilbao, and is another 90 second back, surely too much.

Meanwhile, Pogacar is about four minutes 30 seconds behind Vingegaard on the road. He is having a horrible day.

Vingegaard goes past Gaudu and Bilbao and is the third man over the top after Gall and Yates. There's a descent to the finish before a steep ramp to the line.

Vingegaard still has a group of riders including Pello Bilbao and David Gaudu in front of him.

Felix Gall is about to be the first man over the top of the Col de la Luze... he still leads Simon Yates by 18 seconds.

Simon Yates is still on Felix Gall's tail... the gap is hovering at 19 seconds. The summit is less than 1km away.
