Philipsen wins stage 17 of Tour de France, Pogacar protects lead
VOIRON, France (AP) --- Jasper Philipsen capped a fine team performance
Wednesday to win stage 17 of the Tour de France, where Tadej Pogacar protected
his overall lead.
Mathieu van der Poel led his Alpecin-Premier Tech teammate Philipsen to his
first stage victory of this Tour by controlling the pace and containing
counterattacks through the last kilometers.
Philipsen finished just ahead of Mauro Schmid and Olav Kooij.
Pogacar maintained his lead of just over 4 minutes over Remco Evenepoel, the
winner of the previous two stages.
But it was a bad day for Pogacar's UAE Emirates XRG teammate Adam Yates, who
appeared to be struggling and was dropped way back.
