After the Laval stage, Jonathan Milan doubles the bet. At the end of a sprint in a pouring and enamelled rain of a large fall in the red flame, which notably involved the Eritrean Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Wanty) and prevented the Belgian Tim Merlier (Sudal-Quick-Step) from playing the sprint, the Italian won his second victory over this edition during the 17th stage between Bollene and Valence. He is ahead of the Belgian line Jordi Meeus (Red-Bull Bora-Hansgrohe) and the Danish Tobias Lund Andresen (Pic-Nic Postnl). Paul Penhoët (Groupama-FDJ) finished first French, in 7th place.

After the fireworks of Mont Ventoux on Tuesday, this transitional stage found a linear scenario, with a breakaway of four runners, where we found the French Quentin Pacher (Groupama-FDJ), Mathieu Burgaudeau (Totalenergies) as well as Vincenzo Albanese (Ef-Education Easypost) and Jonas Abrahamse (Uno-X Mobility). This group of four counted up to two minutes in advance before exploding under the leadership of the Norwegian bison, taken up alone at 4.3 kilometers from the finish by a peloton that had melted the gap, led by The tireless Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek) and even Valentin Paret-Peintre, the winner of the day before.
In the general classification, no change, the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar (UAE-Team Emirates XRG) still has 4'15 ahead of his Danish rival Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease A Bike) on the eve of the Terrible Duo of the Alps.
