It’s not as if Ineos Grenadiers didn’t try. Tom Pidcock was sniffing around the early moves during the fast and frantic start to Stage 17 while Dylan van Baarle, second time lucky, got himself into the breakaway alongside Dani Martinez. Jonathan Castroviejo even tried to bridge over on the first of four climbs, the Col d’Aspin, giving Geraint Thomas three men up the road.
Pogacar's late acceleration at the top of the final climb, a 8-km effort at 7.8%, earned him his third win in this year's Tour and gave him a 10-second time bonus.
UAE Team Emirates rider Tadej Pogacar was pushed to his limits on a thrilling day's racing as he won Stage 17 of the Tour de France to slightly close the gap on overall leader Jonas Vingegaard at the summit of Peyragudes on Wednesday.
“Fair play to them, they really took it on” said Geraint Thomas, after he was dropped on Stage 17 of the Tour de France, losing more time to yellow jersey holder Jonas Vingegaard and defending champion Tadej Pogacar — who won the stage. The 2018 winner still sits a comfortable third in the general classification, but he is now 4’56” back from the leader with three competitive stages to go — before the traditional procession to the Champs Elysees for the GC. Ad/> UAE Team Emirates riders Mikkel Bjerg and Brandon McNulty led a superb breakaway which Thomas was not able to live with, and McNulty guided Pogacar into a position to put down the throttle with 300m to go — eventually beating Vingegaard to the stage win.

On a day that Tadej Pogacar’s stricken UAE Team Emirates threw everything but the kitchen sink at turning the tables on yellow jersey Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), the Slovenian two-time champion moved just four seconds closer to the race summit despite beating his Danish rival to the line on the steep airstrip at Peyragudes. A thrilling Stage 17 in the Pyrenees saw Pogacar’s remaining three teammates blow the race apart on the third of four climbs before American climber Brandon McNulty set up his leader for his third win of the race.
