Wednesday, July 17: Stage 17: Embrun - Chorges, 32 km individual time trial

Rated Ascents

• Km 6.5: Côte de Puy-Sanières, 6.4 km @ 6% gradient, Category 2
• Km 20.0: Côte de Réallon, 6.9 km @ 6.3%, Category 2

Weather: At Embrun at 12:05 PM local time it is 27C (80F) and sunny with the wind at 10 kph (6 mph) from the south. There is an 80% chance of thunderstorms later in the day, perhaps about 2:00 PM, with the wind shifting, coming from the south-southwest at 18 kph (11 mph).

It did rain for a while but the course largely dried out for the contenders who were last off, except for Froome, who rode some late kilometers were over a damp road.

Photos from Stage 17:

Froome, like many riders, switched to an aero bike with a rear disc near or at the top of the second hill.

Alberto Contador looked really good today. Will he be like Jan Ullrich always was, ready to race the Tour when the Tour is over?

Joaquin Rodriguez blistered the course today.

Michal Kwiatkowski lost time to Nairo Quintana today, making it very unlikely he'll take the White Jersey back.

Nairo Quintan did himself a world of good today when he lost only 71 seconds to Froome.

Bauke Mollema's indifferent ride cost him a spot on the podium.

Roman Kreuziger moved up to third place.

Laruens Ten Dam

Daniel Martin

Alejandro Valverde

Jean-Christophe Péraud crashed during warm-up, fracturing his collarbone and then crashed at speed on the same shoulder in thestage's final kilometers. Sadly, his Tour is over.

Tejay Van Garderen

Rui Alberto Costa

Andy Schleck

Cadel Evans had a terrible time trial, losing more than eight minutes.

Damiano Cunego

Ruben Plaza

Tony Gallopin

Tom Dumoulin

Bram Tankink had to deal with wet roads.

José Serpa

Wouter Poels

Richie Porte

Jan Bakelants

Chris Froome has only four more stages to go.
