Tadej Pogacar's dreams of winning a third Tour de France are over after a crushing day's action that saw the UAE Team Emirates rider crack in spectacular fashion.

Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard extended his overall lead by finishing fourth, while Austria's Felix Gall won the gruelling Stage 17 – billed as the “Queen” stage with 69 kilometres of Alpine climbing – with Simon Yates second and Pello Bilbao third.

The Dane – who started the day one minute and 48 seconds ahead of Pogacar after a blistering time-trial on Tuesday – is now seven minutes and 35 seconds clear of his rival with three stages to go before Sunday's processional stage to Paris.
