117km to go: It’s time for the second climb of the day. The category one Cormet de Roselend is 1,968m high and 20 kilometres in length with an average gradient of 6%. “Fuel, cool and hydrate,” are the instructions from the Ineos Grenadiers team boss, who orders his troops to slow down and let Jumbo-Visma do the donkey work at the front of the yellow jersey group.

119km to go: Alaphilippe, Ciccone and Neilands have a lead of 49 seconds over the yellow jersey group, with a chasing posse of four riders on the road between them.

125km to go: The descent continues and Alaphilippe, Ciccone and Neilands have put 18 seconds between themselves and the yellow jersey.

David Gaudu, my outside bet for this Tour, has been dropped by the yellow jersey group in a state of affairs that could jeopardise his place in the top 10. The Groupama-FDJ rider, who starred in one of the episodes of the Netflix Tour de France: Unchained series, is currently ninth overall.

129km to go: The riders continue to zoom down this quick descent, the needle on the speedometer hitting 93km per hour as they negotiate the hairpin bends.

134km to go: The lead group, now with added Jonas Vingegaard, Tadej Pogacar and other GC heavyweights, are about 35 seconds clear of the next bunch. Julian Alaphilippe is out in front descending the Col de Saises at a speed that is little short of terrifying.

137km to go: With Neilson Powless dropped and pedalling through treacle, Giulio Ciccone takes maximum points at the top of the first climb, the category one Col de Saises. He’ll almost certainly keep the polka-dot jersey unless one of the GC contenders robs him of it in their bid to secure yellow.

138km to go: Our breakaway group of Rafal Majka, Thibaut Pinot, Rigoberto Uran, Julian Alaphilippe, Jack Haig, Giulio Ciccone, Mattiasd Skjelmose, Felix Gall, Rui Costa, Victor Lafay, Kevin Vermaerke, Krists Neilands, Simon Yates, Lawson Craddock, Chris Harper, Clement Champoussin and Jonas Gregaard have an 18 second lead over the yellow jersey group.

Jumbo-Visma aren’t giving them much more than an inch; they’re really pedalling hard and making life difficult for everyone else in the group. Their own rider, Wout van Aert has been dropped.

140km to go: There are groups scattered all over the road following a brutal start to a brutal stage. The green jersey group of stragglers is already two minutes off the pace.

142km to go: Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) is dropped.

143km to go: Second in the King of the Mountains standings behind Giulio Ciccone, Neilson Powless has been dropped by the lead group with six kilometres of the first climb to go. Their lead is now at 26 seconds but Jumbo-Visma rider Dylan van Baarle is towing the peloton along at a rate of knots.

145km to go: A big breakaway group of about 20 riders have opened a gap of 19 seconds on the peloton. Neilson Powless, Giulio Ciccone, Thibaut Pinot, Julian Alaphilippe, Ben O’Connor and Simon Yates are among them.

147km to go: There are already plenty of riders, Peter Sagan and Dylan Groenewegen among them, getting shelled out the back of the bunch in the early stages of this first climb. It’s the life they have chosen but they’re in for a very long and extremely unpleasant afternoon. Ineos Grenadiers rider Tom Pidcock is also struggling to stay in touch.

148km to go: Mads Pedersen and Luka Mezgec drop out of the breakaway and three kilometres into the first climb, it looks like their three companions, Powless, Ciccone and Gregard are about to be collared too.

Tadej Pogacar crashes ...

149km to go: It looks a minor one. The Slovenian rider hits the deck after clipping a wheel but is able to remount his bicycle and continue.

151km to go: Our five-man breakaway – Ciccone, Mads Pedersen, Luka Mezgec, Jonas Greegard and Powless – have opened a gap of 35 seconds on the bunch. At the front of the bunch, Tim “The Tractor” Declercq is putting in a ferocious shift in order to help his Soudal-Quick Step teammate Julian Alaphilippe bridge the gap to the breakaway.

A record-breaking stage on the #TDF2023 . ⛰️Highest point (Col de la Loze - 2304m) 📏Longest climb (Col de la Loze - 28.1 km) 🏁Highest stage finish (Courchevel - 2003m) ⚪🔴Most available KOM points (65) 📈Biggest positive gradient (+5100m) https://t.co/aOSlN4a5Wf — Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 19, 2023

155km to go: A group of five riders, including Mads Pedersen, Neilson Powless and Giulio Ciccone, a vision in polka-dots, have escaped off the front of the bunch. Adam Yates and his UAE chums have managed to rejoin the yellow jersey group.

156km to go: The peloton is still more or less intact, albeit stretched out in a very, very long line. There has been a bit of a split and a couple of UAE Emirates riders, including Adam Yates, have been caught out. Tadej Pogacar is not among them.

159km to go: Mads Pedersen makes a break for it with the stage still in its infancy and yet to settle down. There are plenty of riders trying to escape the peloton. With the Alpine backdrop, the scenery is quite breathtaking, even if the riders don’t have time to appreciate it and will be cursing it through gritted teeth later.

161km to go: THere are plenty of riders trying to get in a breakawayand the peloton is strung out like clothes on a washing line. Valentin Madouas seems to have thought better of his attempt at escape and has sat up briefly.

163km to go: Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) and Magnus Cort (EF Education-EasyPost) open a lead of 13 seconds on the bunch with five or six riders on the road between the two leaders and the bunch and others trying to jump across.

The peloton is racing on stage 17 ...

The first attack goes straight from the gun, with five riders pulling away from the bunch at the first available opportunity. Valentin Madouas and Magnus Cort are among them.

Not long now: The riders have just a kilometre more to complete in the neutral zone before Christian Prudhomme waves his yellow flag to semaphore the signal to begin racing. Today’s stage is a monster, boasting four tough climbs, the last of them the hors category Col de la Loze, with it’s 24% gradient in the final kilometres, which are more than 2,000m above sea level. Ouch.

Today's roll-out has begun

Hello everybody! The riders journey through the neutral zone ahead of today’s Queen stage has begun and they will be given the signal to begin racing once they’ve covered about four kilometres.

Christian Prudhomme on today’s stage: “The stage will be a great challenge, with more than 5,000 metres of vertical gain to deal with or exploit across the day,” writes the Tour director. “The finale will feature the Tour’s second visit to the impressive Col de la Loze, then plunge into Courchevel, where the final battle will take place on the altiport’s 18% runway.”

Who's wearing what jersey

Yellow : Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma)

Green: Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck)

Polka-dot: Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek)

White: Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates)

Vingegaard leaves rivals trailing in his wake

Stage 17 report: Jonas Vingegaard crushed Tadej Pogacar’s hopes of reversing his 10sec deficit in the Tour de France by opening up a huge overall lead in the stage 16 time trial, dramatically ending days of shadow boxing through the French Alps. Jeremy Whittle reports from Saint-Gervias Mont Blanc …

The top 10 on General Classification

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) 63hr 06min 53sec

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) +1min 48sec

Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) +8min 52sec

Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers) +8min 57sec

David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) +17min 38sec

Felix Gall (AG2R-Citreon) +18min 19sec

Stage 17: Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc to Courchevel (165.7km)

William Fotheringham on stage 17: The final Alpine stage ends over the longest climb of the week, the 28km Col de la Loze, with an unremitting final 6km topping out at 24%, and after the descent into Courchevel there’s a short, stiff pull to the finish line.

If an early break gains ground watch out for pure climbers such as Pello Bilbao, otherwise it’s all about Jonas Vingegaard and Tadaj Pogacar, who between them won four mountain stages last year. Today’s stage is due to roll out at approximately 11.30am (BST).

Tour de France stage 17 AS IT HAPPENED: Jonas Vingegaard extinguishes Tadej Pogačar's GC hopes on Col de la Loze

Live updates from the seventeenth stage of the 2023 Tour de France which includes the monstrous Col de la Loze

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

Good morning, Welcome to our live coverage of stage 17 of the 2023 Tour de France . Have you all recovered from the drama of yesterday's time trial yet? We're getting closer and closer to Paris now. Today's stage of the race has been billed as the "Queen stage" and rightly so. It finishes with a brutal ascent of the hors categorie Col de la Loze. Fasten your seat belts and get ready, it's bound to be a good one. You can reach out to me on Twitter - @thewlistt throughout the day and let me know how you see the day going. 

Here's a little look at the picture in the overall standings going into today's brutal stage. Jonas Vingegaard leads the race by 1-48 over his nearest rival Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) in second. The Danish rider put in one of the time trial performances of the ages yesterday to extend his overall lead. 1. Jonas Vingegaard (Den) Jumbo-Visma in 63-06-53 2. Tadej Pogačar (Slo) UAE Team Emirates, at 1-48 3. Adam Yates (GBr) UAE Team Emirates, at 8-52 4. Carlos Rodriguez (Spa) Ineos Grenadiers, at 8-57 5. Jai Hindley (Aus) Bora-Hansgrohe, at 11-15 6. Sepp Kuss (USA) Jumbo-Visma, at 12-56 7. Pello Bilbao (Spa) Bahrain Victorious, at 13-06 8. Simon Yates (GBr) Jayco AlUla, at 13-46 9. David Gaudu (Fra) Groupama-FDJ, at 17-38 10. Felix Gall (Aut) AG2R Citroën, at 18-19

There were doubts about the weather this morning at the start with thunder storms rumbling overhead. However, it appears that's now cleared up in Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc. Here's a video shared by Orla Chennaoui of Eurosport and GCN this morning of the rain earlier today. 

Our teams in France waking up to this today… 🤔 Remember what Tadej said about hoping for bad weather? pic.twitter.com/noNbmiGWrD July 19, 2023

Although as I say, reports from those on the ground in France suggest the weather has cleared up now. 

When the Col de la Loze was first introduced to the Tour de France in 2020, many shuddered and grimaced at the sheer sight of it. It's an absolute monster of a climb, that's fair to say. Today's 165.7km stage includes three early climbs which includes the Cormet de Roselend, but the Col de la Loze should completely destroy the peloton in the finale today. 

Right! Here we go! The riders are off and into the neutralised section. It's a short one today, just 3.3 kilometres, so expect them to get this out of the way pretty quickly.  

We'll have a full stage report online for you at the end of today. Cycling Weekly journalists Vern Pitt, Adam Becket and James Shrubsall are on the ground today. They'll be bringing you all the reaction from Courchevel later on this evening. 

With over 5,000 metres of elevation gain today, it's no wonder the stage has been dubbed as the "Queen Stage." Here's the full profile of the 167 kilometres from Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc to Courchevel. Will Tadej Pogačar go all out and grab the time back that he needs?

164km to go: Here we go! Christian Prudhomme waves them off and the attacks fly almost immediately as multiple riders try to get an early breakaway going. 

Looks like it's Magnus Cort (EF Education-EasyPost) and Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) who have pushed on to try their luck. Krist Neilands (Israel-Premier Tech) and a couple of riders from DSM are trying to join them.

Those two riders have been reeled back in, although expect someone like Cort to try again. 

and just as I write that.... he's managed to get in the next group to try their luck! Cort is up the road again along with Harold Tejada (Astana Qazaqstan), Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) and several others. We'll have the full list in a moment.

Wow! There were no major attacks just then but the high intensity at the front of the peloton briefly caused a split in the bunch. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) and Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) were both caught out there along with multiple other riders. It looks like it's pretty much back together, although that will have been a scary moment for Yates and co there. 

So the breakaway has about 35 seconds now on the main field. It's all about the battle for the King of the Mountains jersey. Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) is up the road along with his teammate Mads Pedersen, Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost), Luca Mezgec (Jayco-AIUla) and Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X). 

Here's Ciccone in the polka-dot jersey at the start this morning.

150km to go: Quick-Step are really putting the hammer down on the front of the peloton. They desperately want one of their riders in that break this morning. Julian Alaphilippe has just dashed off the front of the bunch with a couple of other riders in an attempt to bridge across to the leaders as they begin the first climb of the day, the Col de Saisies. 

Woah! Tadej Pogačar has just hit the deck in a small crash in the main field. Looks like it was only the Slovenian that went down, but not an ideal start at all. 

He's back up and riding and looks absolutely fine but as I say, not an ideal start for him at all.   I expect the stress levels in the UAE camp have ramped right back up. 

Meanwhile the break now has 11 seconds on the peloton thanks to the efforts of Alaphilippe, Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek), Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citreon) and a few other riders in the second group on the road. Marc Soler from UAE Emirates and Victor Lafay (Cofidis) are both there too. 

148km to go: Ciccone along with Powless and Gregaard are still up the road but only just. The race is nearly all back together for now. 

Here's a closer look at the remnants of the breakaway led by Ciccone in the polka dot jersey. A few of the chases including Skjelmose have managed to get across the gap but it's not going to last for much longer. 

That initial breakaway has been bolstered by some serious firepower now. An immensely strong group packed full of quality is at the head of the race. Simon Yates is in there which is a big surprise.... especially as he's eighth overall.  

Felix Gall is up the road too. 

Here's the group in full: Rafal Majka (UAE Emirates) Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) Rigoberto Uran (EF Education-EasyPost) Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step) Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious) Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) Felix Gall (AG2R Citroen) Rui Costa (Intermarche-Circus-Wanty) Kevin Vermaeke (DSM) Krist Neilands (Israel-Premier Tech) Simon Yates (Jayco-AIUla) Lawson Craddock (Jayco-AIUla) Chris Harper (Jayco-AIUla) Clement Champoussin (Arkea-Samsic) Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X)

Neilson Powless has been dropped.

Here's Tadej Pogačar's little incident here earlier courtesy of ITV Cycling. 

Pogačar has been down! 😬#TDF2023 #ITVCycling pic.twitter.com/ajyJdTJJTN July 19, 2023

139km to go: There was a little bit of panic earlier as to the whereabouts of Jonas Vingegaard's teammates in the remnants of the main field. Dylan van Baarle is leading the peloton for Jumbo-Visma, Tiesj Benoot is there too as is Wout van Aert and a couple of others including Sepp Kuss. Panic?! What panic?!

138km to go: Wow! Benoot is really riding here and is absolutely shredding that group containing Vingegaard and Pogacar already. Jumbo are absolutely intent on putting the Slovenian under even more pressure today.

137km to go: That big effort from the Benoot led group has brought Pogacar, Vingegaard and several other riders across to the breakaway. Meanwhile Ciccone has just taken maximum points at the top of the Saisies. That puts the Italian 15 points clear of Neilson Powless in second place in the mountains classification.

135km to go: Alaphilippe, Ciccone and Neilands have continued that acceleration over the top of the climb and onto the descent of the Saisies. The Frenchman is bombing it down the descent and seems absolutely desperate to get a stage win today. Sorry Julian, but I think that'll be a tall order with whose racing behind you. 

This is pretty terrifying stuff from Alaphilippe here! He is absolutely gunning it. Average speed of just under 80 kph at the moment.

Quick reminder that there's three more categorised climbs to go today. The Cormet de Roselend, the Cote de Longfoy and the Col de la Loze. 

127km to go: Ciccone, Neilands and Alaphilippe are together now and continuing to push on. They've got about 18 seconds on the second group on the road now which is the yellow jersey group.

123km to go: Jack Haig is leading the GC group down the Saisies in pursuit of the trio up ahead. Looks like it was Vermaeke from DSM who went just before him. 

Alaphilippe is first across the intermediate sprint there at Beaufort. From there it's pretty much straight onto the Cormet de Roselend. 

118km to go: Haig, Skjelmose, Vermaeke and Gregor Muhlberger (Movistar) are almost with the Ciccone led trio up ahead.

117km to go: and they're with them as the Roselend kicks up! 

The lead group has just over a minute now on the yellow jersey group. There are several smaller groups of chasers dotted in no-mans land between them. Haig drives the break on along with Skjelmose. 

114km to go:  As they continue to push on up the Roselend, Majka and Soler from UAE looked to launch a move and push on in search of the break. Tiesj Benoot and Wilco Kelderman (Jumbo-Visma) were straight onto it though with Wout van Aert hovering behind. 

111km to go: 

We've now got a huge group of 34 men at the head of the race. Thibaut Pinot and Rigoberto Uran have made it across to them now to bring some extra firepower. 

It feels a little too big to go all the way as there will undoubtedly be a lot of different agendas in there. Marc Soler, Majka, Kelderman and Benoot also made it across. 

110km to go: Here's the full run down of whose there for now ----->>> Ties Benoot and Wilco Kelderman (Jumbo-Visma) Rafal Majka and Marc Soler (UAE Emirates) David Gaudu, Valentin Madouas, Thibaut Pinot and Stefan Kung (Groupama-FDJ) Magnus Cort and Rigoberto Uran (EF Education-EasyPost) Julian Alaphilippe and Dries Devenyns (Soudal Quick-Step) Pello Bilbao and Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious) Giulio Ciccone and Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) Ben O'Connor, Nans Peters and Felix Gall (AG2R Citroen) Rui Costa (Intermarche-Circus-Wanty) Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) Gregor Muhlberger (Movistar) Simon Yates, Chris Harper and Lawson Craddock (Jayco-AIUla) Aleksey Lutsenko (Astana Qazaqstan) Tobias Johanneson and Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X) Krists Neilands , Hugo Houle  and Nick Schultz (Israel-Premier Tech) Matthew Dinham and Kevin Vermaeke (DSM) Simon Gugliemi (Arkea-Samsic)

108km: Looks like Soler is dropping back to the yellow jersey group for UAE. 

Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorious) has just abandoned the race. 

107km to go: Van Aert and Laporte (Jumbo-Visma) are leading the yellow jersey group behind the breakaway. Things are nicely poised for Jumbo just in case Pogacar and UAE are planning something.

103km: Ciccone looks like a man on a mission today. He's still leading the charge at the head of the breakaway as they push on. Stunning views from the Cormet de Roselend today. My colleague, Tom Davidson, says its the nicest climb he's ever ridden. I'm starting to see why now. 

Right! Speaking of Mr Davidson.... he's about to jump on while I'm off for some lunch! See you back here in one hour. 

Hello, Tom Davidson here. While my namesake gets his lunch, you can all feast on the beauty of Lake Roselend. 

I did this climb last summer, and I have never known water to be so beautifully turquoise. 

🤩 Le Lac de Roselend#TDF2023 pic.twitter.com/yopl5gkf4j July 19, 2023

100km to go: Just one kilometre remains of the most stunning climb in the Alps. Polka-dot-jersey-wearer Ciccone is poised to dart for points at the front of this 34-rider breakaway group. 

99km to go: Right on cue, Ciccone takes maximum mountains points over the Cormet de Roselend. 

Wondering why there's a telephone booth at the top of the climb? 

According to Alltrails.com : "The cabin is located at the roche du Biolley belvedere, about 700m from the Plan Mya refuge. According to the owners of the shelter, their clients kept asking them where they could make a phone call. Not having a network at the shelter, the owners often joked by telling them that they could go to the telephone booth, previously a fictitious place. Years later, the owners decided to make this anecdote a reality and buy a telephone booth to install it at the belvedere of the rock of Biolley, the closest place with the network."

91km to go: It's hard to tell at this point whether this is a day for the breakaway or the GC favourites. The peloton seems to be keeping the front group on a tight leash, allowing them 1-45 at the moment. 

88km to go: This descent will last another 20 or so kilometres before the riders reach the category-two Côte de Longefoy - an amuse bouche for the monstrous Col de la Loze that awaits. 

80km to go: We're still descending here. The gap to the break has pushed out a little bit to 1-50, but it's being closely policed. 

Vingegaard undergoes extra anti-doping tests

There has been a lot of skepticism about the top riders' performances over the past few stages, and as a result, Jumbo-Visma and UAE have been subject to additional anti-doping tests. 

According to Wielerflits , the two teams were visited by doping inspectors on their team buses ahead of today's stage. 

"I applaud this,” said Jumbo-Visma team manager Richard Plugge. “In fact, I also worked hard for this. In this way we are taking another step in the fight against doping. Jonas Vingegaard has had no less than four blood tests in the last 48 hours. We are happy to participate in this.”

A reminder that ASO have added giant crash mattresses to some of the descents on today's stage, one of a host of new safety measures .  

Here's a picture our colleague Adam Becket has just sent across. 

66km to go: Back to the race and the breakaway is climbing. They're at the foot of the Côte de Longefoy. It's steep at 7.5%, but it's not the longest. They'll be over the summit and descending again in 6km. 

60km to go: The polka-dot-clad Ciccone goes unchallenged over the summit of the category-two climb. There are double points available on the next ascent, the Col de la Loze, as it marks the highest point of this year's race (2,304m).

Hello! Big thank you to Tom Davidson for his updates in the last hour. Tom Thewlis here, back and ready to take you through to the line. 

55km to go: This climb looks like it's starting to bite for a few riders in the break. We're on an 8% slope at the moment, so in principle this shouldn't challenge anyone, but Hugo Houle is distanced thanks to the furious pace being set by Nans Peters and AG2R.

54km to go: 3-12 to the breakaway and Van Aert is really putting the hammer down on the front of the yellow jersey group. Ineos briefly came to the head of the group with Omar Fraile, although that didn't last long whatsoever. 

52km to go: There are 24 hairpin bends on the way down from this climb hence the battle for positioning.

CRASH! and it's Egan Bernal!

Oh no! Just as we saw that there was going to be a bit of a fight for positioning in the start of that descent, Bernal's front wheel slipped in front of him and he slammed to the floor. 

51km to go: That's so unfortunate for Bernal. Luckily he looks ok, although it's very clear that's knocked his confidence a little. Hopefully he's ok and can just get to the finish now. 

47km to go: We're roughly 20km from the start of the final climb, the Col de la Loze. Expect the current advantage to the break (3-09) to shatter once the road kicks up.

Here's Jonas Vingegaard on the descent of the Cormet de Roselend. Will be interesting to see how this plays out when the Col de la Loze arrives and whether Jumbo will look to win the stage with the maillot jaune . 

37km to go: The Col de la Loze is almost upon us. It's the souvenir Henri Desgrange this year as the highest point in the race. The last five kilometres will almost certainly be the toughest point when the riders will face gradients of getting on for 24%. Brutal indeed.

Right! Here we go! The breakaway are onto the Col de la Loze. It's 28 kilometres of absolute hell. All the best to everyone having to ride that monster today.

32km to go: Uran and Alaphilippe are out the door! Ben O'Connor is on the front of the breakaway and ripping it up along with Jack Haig. Fair play to them both. If O'Connor or Haig want to win the stage they'll need to get rid of Simon Yates. I can't see either of them being able to do that. 

31km to go: O'Connor's AG2R teammate Felix Gall is locked into his wheel. Haig's colleague Pello Bilbao is sat just behind him. Meanwhile the peloton have just swept up Alaphilippe. 

Here's Ben O'Connor in action. He's still leading the charge at the front of the breakaway. The Australian has had a bit of an underwhelming Tour, so this is his chance to potentially put things right. 

26km to go: Worth noting that Jack Haig has ridden the Tour of the Alps, Giro d'Italia, Criterium du Dauphine and now the Tour de France in quick succession. Pretty impressive to say the least. Haig would be a real worthy winner of the stage today.

26km to go: There are some serious climbers still left up the road today. At this rate unless Jumbo do something soon, expect one of these guys to go all the way. Yates is still there, as is Gall, O'Connor, Bilbao and Gaudu. All of those men are equally capable of winning the stage.

23km to go: Jonathan Castroviejo leads the yellow jersey group behind the breakaway. Dylan van Baarle is sat just beside him. A big surprise to see the Classics man still there for Jumbo-Visma. Usually it would be Sepp Kuss sat at the front of the bunch for Jumbo.

22km to go: The break is into the slight downhill that comes in the middle of the climb. It's a brief bit of respite for the leaders before the really serious stuff starts.

Great shot of Tadej Pogačar here. Does he have enough left in the tank to make up a bit of time today? It doesn't look like it at the moment.

16km to go: Van Baarle drops away from the yellow jersey group. Sepp Kuss is still in there for Jumbo alongside him and he still has two teammates up the road in the shape of Benoot and Kelderman. Haig dropped away at the head of the breakaway as the leaders started the toughest part of the climb coming out of Meribel. This is where it gets really nasty indeed.

15km to go: Whatever happens today, O'Connor deserves huge credit and praise for his ride in the breakaway. The Aussie has put in a huge effort at the head of the race which has forced Ineos to really chase from the yellow jersey group. Chapeau indeed.

Simon Yates is sat a couple of wheels down from O'Connor. He looks remarkably fresh. 

Right! That's it! O'Connor has dropped away now. He was all in for teammate Felix Gall. Chris Harper - Yate's Jayco AIUla teammate - has taken over at the head of the breakaway. When will Yates make his move for the stage win?

14km to go: Pogacar is dropped! He's clearly massively suffering! Jumbo have moved to the front of the bunch with Kuss and Pogacar has dropped like a stone!

13km to go: That doesn't look good whatsoever for the Slovenian! He looks exhausted! That's got to be the Tour done and dusted. When does Vingegaard make his move if he wants the stage win?!

13km to go: Tadej Pogačar has already lost another 20 seconds to Vingegaard here according to the commentators. 

Meanwhile Gall launches at the head of the race! Looks like Yates can't respond for now!

12km to go: Gall has already opened up a decent gap to Yates now. Majka is with Yates and Harper in the second group on the road. 

Tadej Pogačar looks absolutely spent. A really sad sight. His crash earlier today won't have helped things, but he looks absolutely burnt out. 

11km to go: Poor Pogačar. He's now lost nearly another minute to Vingegaard. Meanwhile Gall continues up ahead and is weaving all over the road. He looks exhausted.

11km to go: and this is where Vingegaard and Jumbo take flight! Huge turn from Benoot sets him up and he takes off like a rocket! Can he go on and win the stage?

10km to go: Vingegaard will be able to see Gall and the remnants of the breakaway up ahead through the hairpins. They are so high now. He's got 2-20 to make up if he still wants the stage win. 

Gall is in pieces here on the 13% slopes. Vingegaard is flying and just continuing to twist the knife in Pogacar's wounds. 

9km to go: Yates drops Majka and leaves him for dead. He's got 23 seconds on Yates and 1-53 on Vingegaard. Tadej Pogačar has just said on the team radio "I'm gone, I'm dead" poor Tadej indeed!

NO!!! The crowds are completely in the way and have caused the car at the head of a race to come to a standstill in front of Jonas Vingegaard. He's just been forced to a standstill and had to unclip.

Pello Bilbao has just lashed out at a fan. The riders are getting incredibly frustrated out there. 

Meanwhile Gall is screaming through the pain up ahead! Yates has 21 seconds to make up. 

Where are the Police or Gendarmes keeping the crowds back up here?! They're thinning out now but it's not a good look. 

7km to go: Vingegaard seems to have not been thrown whatsoever by having to stop back there. He's got nearly four minutes on Pogacar now. Gall is on the 24% section now! Wow!

5km to go: Vingegaard sails past Gaudu. He's 1-29 from the head of the race. Only Pello Bilbao can keep tabs on him.

3km to go: Gall took the KOM at the top of at the top of the Col de la Loze and takes this year's souvenir Henri Desgrange. Gall, Yates and Vingegaard and co are onto the descent towards the climb to Courchevel. 

Pogacar has only just crossed the summit of the climb. 

2.3 km to go: This is nail biting stuff! It's a two way fight between Gall and Yates for the stage win but its going to go down to the line! My word!

Jonas Vingegaard can sit up and relax now. He doesn't need another stage win. The Tour title is essentially wrapped up bar any major disaster. 

Gall has the stage win in the bag! What an effort from the Austrian!

He approaches the line and can relax.

Simon Yates will take second and has made big gains on GC here.

FELIX GALL WINS STAGE 17 OF THE TOUR DE FRANCE!! WHAT A DAY FOR THE AUSTRIAN. A VERY WORTHY WINNER INDEED.

Simon Yates grabs second

Vingegaard and Bilbao are coming to the line now. The Danish rider will have getting on for 8 or 9 minutes on Pogacar come the end of the day.

Right! Time for a stage report. We'll wrap everything up on here shortly. A stage report will follow.

“I'm Gone. I'm Dead.” Tadej Pogačar Cracks on Stage 17 of the Tour de France

“Today was one of my worst days on my bike.”

Heading into the final week of the Tour de France, stage 17 started with Tadej Pogačar (UAE Emirates) crashing shortly after the start. On the 166 kilometer route from Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc to Courchevel, Pogačar went down unexpectedly

Video footage suggests Pogačar, 24, clipped the wheel of another rider a few kilometers after the start near the base of the 13.4 kilometer climb up Col des Saisies. Though he rebounded quickly and continued racing, Pogačar was bleeding from a cut to his right leg.

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), the overall leader of the Tour, was on Pogačar’s right and managed to avoid the mayhem.

Pogačar rejoined the main peloton just before a group of riders away from the pack. Pogačar is fighting on this year’s brutal Queen stage to take back time after Vingegaard’s impressive individual time trial on stage 16 where he extended his lead over the Pogačar by 1 minute and 48 seconds.

Despite Vingegaard’s time gain, Jumbo-Visma isn’t counting out the two time Tour winner.

“Pogačar is like the Germans as we say in Holland, with football, you have only beaten them when they are in the bus back home. We are only celebrating when he [Vingegaard] is in Paris in the bus and he’s [Pogačar’s] back to Ljubljana, and then we are sure,” Jumbo-Visma’s said managing director Richard Plugge according to Cycling Weekly .

As Vingegaard and company kept Pogačar close, stage 17 seemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Pogačar lost the wheel of the general classification leaders and was not able to bridge the gap.

“Pogačar is dropped! The two-time @LeTour champion is in real trouble with a very long way left to climb!” tweeted SBS Sport .

Shortly after, the inconceivable was confirmed by Pogačar himself on the UAE Team Emirates radio.

“I'm gone. I’m dead,” he said.

With Pogačar behind and losing more and more time, blood running down his arm from the earlier crash, Vingegaard capitalized on the moment and launched a stunning attack. Pogačar crested the ascent five minutes behind Vingegaard, and losing four minutes overall in the GC standings.

“The dream is over,” Tour commentator Anthony McCrossen said as Pogačar crossed the line of Stage 17.

Shortly after the stage, UAE Team Emirates tweeted a message of support that read simply: “Proud.”

When asked how he was in a post-race interview, Tadej responded: “Fucked.”

“It’s like I tried to eat as much as possible and it was like nothing was going into my legs, everything was just staying in my stomach. And I was really empty at the bottom of the climb,” he continued. “I just couldn’t go today. It was not a good day.”

However, the race is not over for Tadej Pogačar.

“I hope to recover after today and we can go for another stage on Stage 20.”

It is safe to say that the drama of the Tour de France is never truly over until the final finish line has been crossed in Paris.

The final stage of the 2023 Tour de France came to a climactic end with Belgium’s Jordi Meeus claiming a surprise victory in a sprint for the line on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

Meeus won by the narrowest of margins in a photo finish edging Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin Deceuninck) and Dylan Groenewegen (Team Jayco Alula) into second and third place, respectively.

Meeus celebrated an emphatic end to his debut while Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard claimed a second consecutive Tour de France title. Vingegaard finished seven minutes, and 29 seconds ahead of Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar with Adam Yates of Great Britain taking third overall.

Saturday 22 July: Stage 20 - Belfort - Le Markstein Fellering, medium mountains, 133.5 km

Despite failing to regain the yellow jersey he won in 2020 and 2021, Tadej Pogacar  ended his Tour de France on a high note.

In his last Tour de France mountain stage before retirement, home favourite Thibaut Pinot went on a solo attack to the delight of the French fans.

But the climbing specialist was unable to stay in front with first Tom Pidcock and Warren Barguil catching him before Pogacar made his bid to bridge the gap.

Overall race leader Jonas Vingegaard covered the move with Felix Gall , and the three forged clear on the closing Col du Platzerwase climb.

As things became tactical at the front, the Yates brothers - Adam and Simon - made it a lead group of five.

Vingegaard made his bid for the stage win with 250m to go, but Pogacar was too strong this time with the Dane losing second to Gall on the line.

Pinot received a hero's welcome as he crossed the line in seventh place.

Friday 21 July: Stage 19 - Moirans-en-Montagne - Poligny, hilly, 172.8 km

Matej Mohoric denied Kasper Asgreen a second consecutive win at the 2023 Tour de France after a thrilling photo-finish sprint in Poligny.

The two riders emerged from a three-man breakaway and outsprinted Australia's Ben O'Connor, with Mohoric narrowly beating Asgreen to the finish line.

Throughout the 172.8km stage, there were numerous fragmented attacks across the field, leading to an intense pursuit among different breakaway groups in the final 20km.

Overall leader Jonas Vingegaard finished with the main peloton and kept his seven-and-a-half-minute lead on Tadej Pogacar in the general classification (GC) with just two stages remaining

Thursday 20 July: Stage 18 - Moûtiers - Bourg-en-Bresse, flat, 184.9 km

Kasper Asgreen surprised the sprinters and claimed stage 18 of the Tour de France after a long day in the breakaway.

Following several mountain stages in the Alps, a flatter stage awaited the peloton on Thursday. A breakaway of four rider with Kasper Asgreen , Jonas Abrahamsen , Victor Campenaerts, and later Pascal Eenkhoorn managed to just stay clear of the sprinters that were breathing down their necks on the finish line.

Asgreen of Denmark proved to be the fastest of the riders in the breakaway, and he secured his team Soudal Quick Step their first stage win of this year’s Tour de France.

Jonas VIngegaard held on to the leader's yellow jersey and maintains his 7:35 advantage to Tadej Pogacar .

Wednesday 19 July: Stage 17 - Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc - Courchevel, high mountains, 165.7 km

Felix Gall claimed a dramatic queen stage of the Tour de France 2023, where Jonas Vingegaard cracked Tadej Pogacar to gain more than five and a half minutes on the Slovenian. The Dane is now seven minutes and 35 seconds clear in the overall lead, and looks very likely to win his second consecutive Tour de France.

The stage winner Gall attacked his breakaway companions with six kilometres remaining of the final climb Col de la Loze. Simon Yates tried to chase down Gall, but the AG2R Citroën Team rider managed to maintain a small gap to the Brit, and he crossed the finish line solo.

The general classification leader Vingegaard dropped Pogacar 7.5 kilometres from the summit of Col de la Loze, and while the Slovenian tried to limit his losses, last year’s winner did what he could to gain as much time as possible. His lead seems unassailable with four stages remaining.

Tuesday 18 July: Stage 16 - Passy - Combloux, individual time trial, 22.4 km

Jonas Vingegaard took a big step toward reclaiming his Tour de France title, as the Danish rider triumphed on this year’s lone time trial.

The yellow jersey wearer gained an astonishing one minute and 38 seconds to his biggest rival Tadej Pogacar , who finished second on the stage.

Before Wednesday’s queen stage, the Dane now has an advantage of 1:48 to his Slovenian rival.

Sunday 16 July: Stage 15 - Les Gets les Portes du Soleil - Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, mountain stage, 179 km

Wout Poels took the first Tour de France stage win of his career, as he crossed the finish line alone at Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc on stage 15.

The 2016 Liège-Bastogne-Liège winner dropped his breakaway companions Wout van Aert and Marc Soler 11 kilometres from the finish and managed to maintain his advantage.

Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar fought another alpine duel, but neither rider could get the better of the other, and they crossed the finish line together.

The yellow leader’s jersey therefore remains with Vingegaard. His advantage to Tadej Pogacar is 10 seconds.

Saturday 15 July: Stage 14 - Annemasse - Morzine Les Portes du Soleil, mountain stage, 151.8 km

Carlos Rodriguez claimed the biggest victory of his career, marking the second consecutive win for his team INEOS Grenadiers, on stage 14 of the 2023 Tour de France after crossing the finish line alone in Morzine.

The 22-year-old Spaniard took advantage of the mind games between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar, who were the strongest riders during the ascent on the Col de Joux de Plan.

The Slovenian secured second place, beating his Danish rival, but now trails Vingegaard, who picked up an extra bonus second, by 10 seconds.

Tuesday 11 July: Stage 10 - Vulcania - Issoire, medium mountains, 167.2km

Pello Bilbao of Bahrain-Victorious claimed the first Spanish Tour de France stage win in five years as he outsprinted his breakaway companions in a thriliing finale on stage 10.

Several riders from the breakaway attacked in the final, where Bilbao broke free with Georg Zimmermann of Intermarché-Circus-Wanty. Ben O'Connor of AG2R Citroën Team managed to bridge accross right before Bilbao launched his sprint.

Neither Zimmerman nor O’Connor could respond, and the 33-year-old Spaniard could take his first-ever Tour de France stage win. A victory he dedicated to his former teammate Gino Mäder, who tragically lost his life last month after a crash at the Tour de Suisse.

In the general classification, Jonas Vingegaard crossed the finish line alongside the other favourites, and he retains his 17-second advantage over Tadej Pogacar in second place. Bilbao advanced from 11 th to fifth position in the overall standings.

The iconic finish at Puy de Dôme , a 13.3 km stretch at 7.7% average gradient, returned to the race for the first time since 1988.

Saturday 8 July: Stage 8 - Libourne - Limoges, hilly, 200.7km

Mads Pederson held off triple stage winner Jasper Philipsen and Wout van Aert to clinch stage eight of the Tour de France in 4:12:26.

Van Aert had looked to be in a position to take the stage but was forced to apply the brakes after getting blocked by his own Jumbo-Visma teammate Christophe Laporte . The Belgian was able to recover to catch third.

Earlier in the race, joint record holder for stage wins Mark Cavendish was forced to abandon his 14th and expected last Tour after he was caught in a crash with 63km to go.

The Manx Missile appeared to have injured his shoulder after a touch of wheels in the peloton forced him off his bike and onto the tarmac.

It's been a heartbreaking 24 hours for Cavendish who was denied a record win yesterday (Friday) after suffering a mechanical issue in his sprint showdown with Philipsen.

In the GC, Jonas Vingegaard retained the yellow jersey, while Great Britain's Simon Yates slid two places into sixth following his crash with just 5km of the race left to go.

Tadej Pogacar of UAE Emirates won the mountainous stage 6 in the Pyrenees ahead of reigning Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard , who took over the leader’s jersey.

Shortly after, Vingegaard attacked on climb, and only Pogacar could follow. The Dane’s teammate Wout van Aert got into the early breakaway and was waiting on the descent to pilot his captain into the final kilometres of the last climb - Cauterets-Cambasque.

Defending champion Vingegaard attacked again on the final climb with 4.5 kilomtres to the finish, but Pogacar stayed in his wheel. Two kilometres later, the Slovenian opened up a gap to the Dane. The two-time Tour de France winner managed to stay and claim his tenth Tour de France stage win.

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) won the Tour de France for the second  year in a row after finishing safely in the main field with his Jumbo-Visma teammates. Jordi Meeus (Bora-Hansgrohe) sprinted to victory on the Champs-Elysées, beating green jersey Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) by less than a tyre width to take his first stage victory of the Tour de France.

Vingegaard topped the general classification with a 7:29 ahead of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) and 10:56 on Pogačar’s teammate Yates.

Stage 20: Tour de France: Pogacar rebounds to take stage 20 victory as Vingegaard seals his second overall title / As it happened

Rebounding after a disastrous stage 17 on Col de la Loze, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) won the final mountain stage of the 2023 Tour de France. Crossing the line in third, with the same time, was Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) who is set to claim the overall victory for a second year, with just Sunday’s final parade stage to Paris left to race. Felix Gall (AG2R-Citroën) was second on the stage. Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), who delivered one final attack on his home roads to the delight of the huge crowds massing the roads, was caught on the final climb.

There were no changes in the top 3 on the general classification, Vingegaard, Pogačar and Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) are set to be on the final podium. Fourth on the stage, Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla) moved up to fourth overall.

Stage 19: Tour de France: Mohoric outsprints Asgreen in drag race to stage 19 finish / As it happened

There was no rest and little recovery on a wickedly fast stage 19 of the Tour, where the winning breakaway took 100 kilometres to go clear. Three riders attacked from the 36-rider move, with Matej Mohorič giving Bahrain Victorious their third stage win after Pello Bilbao on stage 10 and Wout Poels on stage 15. The GC contenders all came in together almost 14 minutes behind.

Stage 18: Tour de France: Kasper Asgreen seizes stage 18 victory from all-day breakaway / As it happened

Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-QuickStep) won the closing sprint on stage 18 of the Tour de France to hold off his breakaway companions and a surging peloton. After 185 kilometres at the front of the race with Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Dstny) and Kasper Asgreen (Soudal-QuickStep) and Jonas Abrahamsen (Uno-X), it came down to the final 200 metres to secure the win for Asgreen, leaving Pascal Eenkhoorn (Lotto Dstny), who had bridged across 58km earlier, in second and Abrahamsen third. 

There were no changes in the general classification on the largely-flat stage between Moûtiers to Bourg-en-Bresse, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) remaining in yellow.

Stage 17:   Tour de France: Vingegaard dashes Pogacar's GC hopes on stage 17 across Col de la Loze / As it happened

Felix Gall (AG2R Citroën) attacked from a reduced front group with under 13km to go and held on for a solo victory across the Col de la Loze on stage 17 of the Tour de France. Race leader Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) stamped his authority on the queen stage by dropping his main rival Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) on the final climb. Pogačar finished the stage 7:37 down – 5:45 behind Vingegaard – leaving him still in second place overall but a massive 7:35 back of the Dane.

Stage 16: Tour de France: Vingegaard removes all doubt, crushes Pogacar in stage 16 time trial / As it happened

After two weeks of racing for seconds, Jonas Vingegaard finally carved out a significant gap over second-placed Tadej Pogačar in the stage 16 time trial in Combloux. Vingegaard won the stage by 1 minute 38 seconds over his rival to extend his lead in the GC to 1:48.

Stage 15: Tour de France: Wout Poels blasts to blockbuster stage 15 solo victory / As it happened

The stalemate between Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) continued on the third mountainous day in a row at the Tour de France. The duo marked each other’s attacks on the final climb to Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc and ultimately crossed the finish line together. Attacking from the break, Wout Poels (Bahrain Victorious) won stage 15 after an 11km solo ride to to claim his first Tour de France stage win.

Stage 14: Tour de France: Carlos Rodríguez strikes for win on stage 14 as Vingegaard gains valuable second on Joux Plane / As it happened

Rivals Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) continued their intense battle on the final climb on stage 14 of the Tour de France with the yellow jersey Vingegaard gaining one second in an evenly matched duel. Both riders used their respective teams to dispatch all the other riders before fighting it out on the Col de la Joux Plane. Carlos Rodríguez (Ineos Grenadiers) took advantage of the situation to fly down the descent to take the win in Morzine, and move up to third overall.

Stage 13: Tour de France: Kwiatkowski wins stage 13 on Grand Colombier as Pogacar closes in on yellow / As it happened

The Tour de France overall standings remained neck-and-neck between leader Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar on stage 13, the second hors-categorie summit finish of the race. Michał Kwiatkowski (Ineos) won the stage from the breakaway, while UAE Team Emirates burned up the team to set up Pogačar. Vingegaard was on guard and fended his rival off until the final metres, losing eight seconds total but keeping the maillot jaune.

Stage 12:   Tour de France: Ion Izagirre secures solo victory on frantic stage 12 / As it happened

Ion Izagirre (Cofidis) won stage 12 of the Tour de France with a solo attack 30km from the line in Belleville-en-Beaujolais. His long-range breakaway rewarded the Basque rider with his second career Tour win, the last one coming in 2016. Mathieu Burgaudeau (TotalEnergies) outsprinted Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar) 58 seconds back to complete the podium. 

The hectic first half of the hilly 168.8km stage saw lots of attack, including Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) who was rewarded as the most combative rider. There were no changes between the top GC leaders, with Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) still in yellow and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) in second and in the best young rider jersey.

Stage 11: Tour de France: Jasper Philipsen flies to fourth sprint victory on stage 11 / As it happened

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) showed more blistering speed, proving himself the best sprinter of the Tour de France on stage 11 to Moulins even without any lead-out from Mathieu van der Poel.

It was a squeaky clean sprint from the Belgian who has endured a flood of hate-mail about his previous sprints.

Daniel Oss (TotalEnergies) was the day's sole breakaway rider and caught with 13km to go. The GC standings remained the same as all of the contenders finished in the peloton.

Stage 10: Tour de France: Pello Bilbao scorches sprint from breakaway to win stage 10 / As it happened

Pello Bilbao (Bahrain Victorious) out-sprinted Georg Zimmerman (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) and Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citroën) to win stage 10 of the Tour de France on a sizzlingly-hot day. The Spaniard was part of the day's breakaway that brought six riders into Issoire, where he claimed the first stage victory of his career.

The breakaway gained 2:53 on the group containing race leader Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), rival Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) third-placed Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers) to keep the top four in the GC standings the same.

Stage 9: Tour de France: Michael Woods triumphs with stage 9 victory atop Puy de Dôme / As it happened

The Tour de France reached the mythical ascent of the Puy de Dôme at the finish of stage 9 where Michael Woods (Israel Premier Tech) triumphed with the day's victory after being part of a large breakaway that gained upwards of 15 minutes on the main GC contenders during the stage.

On the upper slopes of the ascent, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) then surged with 1.5km to go, to put valuable seconds into Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). Vingegaard now leads Pogačar by 17 seconds in the battle for the yellow.

Stage 8: Tour de France: Mads Pedersen beats Jasper Philipsen to win crash-marred stage 8 / As it happened

Stage 8 was a highly anticipated day for the puncheurs, even so, Mark Cavendish had his sights set on a 35th career stage win at the Tour de France, but it wasn't meant to be as the Manxman crashed with 60km to go and forced to abandon the event.

In a chaotic finish to the hilly run-in to Limoges, which saw a late-race crash take down Simon Yates (Jayco AlUla), Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) stormed to the victory in a close sprint ahead of Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma). Jonas Vingegaard finished safely in the field and carries the yellow jersey into stage 9 with a finish at Puy de Dôme.

Stage 7: Tour de France: Philipsen denies Cavendish, completes hat-trick in Bordeaux / As it happened

Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) blasted across the line in Bordeaux to win stage 7 of the Tour de France, winning by one bike length over Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan). Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) finished third in the sprint.

For Philipsen, it was his third victory of the three sprint stages in the first week of the 2023 race. He bolted down the main avenue and passed Cavendish in the closing 50 metres, holding the Manxman's attempt at a record 35th Tour stage win  at bay.

Stage 6: Tour de France: Tadej Pogacar claws back time with victory at Cauterets / As it happened

Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) won stage 6 with a massive attack across the final 2.7km and stormed back into the general classification mix. He distanced Jonas Vingegaard at the line at Cauterets by 24 seconds, while the Jumbo-Visma rider took the overall lead and yellow jersey away from Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe), who was 2:39 back in sixth place. 

Vingegaard now has a 25-second advantage over rival Pogačar, while Hindley held the third spot in the overall, 1:34 back, after the massive 144.9km climbing day in the Pyrenees. 

Stage 5: Tour de France: Jai Hindley wins stage 5 as Vingegaard drops Pogacar in Pyrenees / As it happened

The first of the Pyrenean stages at the Tour de France had the potential to shake up the general classification, and it did just that as Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) went on a day-long attack, won stage 5 into Laruns and took the yellow leader's jersey in the process.

Hindley moved into the overall race lead by 47 seconds ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and 1:03 on Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek), as Tadej Pogaçar (UAE Emirates) slipped to 6th now at 1:40 back.

Stage 4: Tour de France: Jasper Philipsen wins two in a row in crash-marred stage 4 / As it happened

There was no doubt who won stage 4 at the Tour de France, with Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) securing his second-consecutive sprint stage win in Nogaro. A day for the sprinters ended in carnage, however, as several riders crashed along the motor speedway circuit that hosted the finish.

There were no changes to the overall classification as Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) finished in the field at the end of the 181.8km stage and will wear the yellow leader's jersey into stage 5.

Stage 3 - Tour de France: Jasper Philipsen wins stage 3 after impressive lead-out from Mathieu van der Poel / As it happened

Jasper Philipsen  (Alpecin-Deceuninck) rocketed across the line in a bunch sprint in Bayonne to win stage 3 of the 2023 Tour de France. A half a wheel behind, Phil Bauhaus (Bahrain Victorious) claimed second and Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Dstny) third.

All the general classification contenders, including Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) in the yellow jersey, finished safely in the field with no time changes after 193.5km from the hills of Spanish Basque territory to the roads of France.

Stage 2 - Tour de France: Victor Lafay gives Cofidis their first win since 2008 on stage 2 / As it happened

Victor Lafay (Cofidis) put in a stunning attack to claim stage 2 in San Sébastian. The Frenchman clipped off the front of a select group that formed after the Jaizkibel and stole the show from Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), who won the sprint for second.

Tadej Pogačar added to his tally with a time bonus for third and also won the five bonus seconds atop the Jaizkibel ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). His teammate Adam Yates held the lead by six seconds.

Stage 1 - Tour de France stage 1: Adam Yates wins ahead of twin brother Simon in Bilbao / As it happened

Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) won stage 1 of the Tour de France in Bilbao, outsprinting his brother Simon Yates (Jayco-Alula)  after the duo escaped together after the final climb of the Pike. Adam Yates leads the general classification by 8 seconds over his brother, and 18 seconds over his teammate Tadej Pogačar who finished third on the stage.

Enric Mas (Movistar) abandoned the stage after crashing with Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) with 23km to go. Carapaz ultimately crossed the line, over 15 minutes from Adam Yates. Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) along with other contenders Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) and Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) are 22 seconds down overall.

Tour de France 2023 schedule

Tour de france history.

Jonas Vingegaard is the reigning champion, having won his first Tour de France in 2022. The Danish rider denied Tadej Pogačar a trio of consecutive victories, the Slovenian having snatched the 2020 title before dominating the 2021 race. 

Pogačar himself broke a Ineos/Sky stranglehold on the race, with the British team having won seven of the previous eight Tours de France with Egan Bernal, Geraint Thomas, Bradley Wiggins and four-time winner Chris Froome . Vincenzo Nibali, then riding for Astana, was the other man to break the British squad's dominance with a win in 2014.

The Tour wins record is currently held by four men, with Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Jacques Anquetil and Miguel Indurain all on five titles.

Peter Sagan getting once dominated the green jersey for the points classification but has been usurped in the past three years, with Wout van Aert establishing himself as the dominant man of all terrains in 2022. Sagan still holds the all-time green jersey record with seven wins in nine participations. Erik Zabel's six jerseys lie second, ahead of Sean Kelly's four.

In addition to his yellow jersey, Vingegaard won the polka-dot jersey for the mountains classification in 2022, as Pogačar did the previous two years.  Richard Virenque holds the record for polka dot jersey wins at seven, and it won't be beaten anytime soon as Pogačar and Rafał Majka are the only current riders to have won more than one king of the mountains title, with two.

Pogačar has won the white jersey for best young rider three years in a row and, at 24, is still eligible for a fourth crack in 2023.
