The race: 172 riders began stage 17 at 12:16 PM. Marcel Sieberg (Lotto-Soudal) did not start. The attacks began at the gun. There were several crashes, one involving Marcel Kittel. He was quickly back up and chasing. On the Col d'Ornon, 30 riders went clear. Among them: Matthews, Voeckler, Ten Dam, Chaves, De Gendt, Roglic, Frank, Gautier, Gallopin, Roche, Molard, Navarro.
Michael Matthews and Thomas de Gendt went away from them and crested the mountain together, Matthews first.
Km 60: De Gendt, Matthews and now Daniel Navarro are 1 minute ahead of 24 riders with Alberto Contador, and 4 minutes ahead of the Yellow Jersey group as they near the crest of the Croix de Fer.
Thibaut Pinot has abandoned. That leaves three riders in FDJ.
Km 75: The lead trio of De Gendt, Matthews and Daniel Navarro are just 30 seconds ahead of the big Contador group. The pack with the Yellow Jersey is 3min 10sec behind the three riders. A couple of kilometers later, Matthews was dropped.
Km 79: De Gendt went over the Croix de Fer first. The chase group of 21 was just 22 second back. The Yellow Jersey group is about 3min 22sec behind De Gendt and Navarro. About 35 riders are are left in the Yellow Jersey group. On to the Col du Télégraphe.
Km 94: Led by hard-charging Contador teammate Jarlinson Pantano, De Gendt and Navarro have been caught by the big Contador group. The Froome group is 3min back.
Km 111: Marcel Kittel has abandonded while wearing the green jersey. No real explanation is given by the team except that something happened during the second rest day.
The 24 riders in the lead are still being led by Jarlinson Pantano. They are 3min 13sec in front of the Froome group.
Km 121: After hammering away at the front of the break for Contador, Jarlinson Pantano has pulled off and will try to finish within the time limit. Now Contador teammate Bauke Mollema is at the front of the break.
More bad luck for Contador, he has to wait for a new bike and now has to chase back up to the break. The pack is 3min 40sec back.
Contador is chasing hard and will be back up in a flash.
And he's back up to the group. Turns out he had a chain problem.
Several Sky riders lead the Yellow Jersey group.
Km 128: Bauke Mollema still leads the Contador break, now down to 12 riders. Daniel Mclay just quit the Tour. That should bring it down to 169 riders left. The Froome group is 3min 58sec back. Fabio Aru is sticking close to Froome.
Km 141, 42 to go: On the Galibier, the Tour's 59th trip up the big mountain. Nairo Quintana has been spit out by the Froome group. Primoz Roglic attacked the Contador break and Contador and Serge Pauwels went with him. The three are now in the lead. The Froome group is 3min 21sec back. Aru is right on Froome's wheel.
Dropped riders are scattered singly or in small groups down the mountain.
37 km to go: The front group is down to five: Roglic, Pauwels, Contador, Atapuma and Frank. The Yellow Jersey group has 15 riders and is 3min 5sec behind the leaders. I don't believe there are any riders in between.
Daniel Navarro, who had been dropped, has made it back up to the Contador group.
35 km to go: Bam! Serge Pauwels attacks hard, really hard. Contador tries to respond, but he can't close the gap. Pauwels has a small gap. Roglic is doing a job of chasing Pauwels.
Navarro is dropped again. These riders are going really deep. Now it's Roglic who is away.
Three minutes back Dan Martin attacks the Froome group. Froome still has three teammates.
33 km to go: Roglic has a half-minute gap on the Contador quartet. Froome is down to one teammate, Landa. Aru, Yates and Uran are right with Froome.
31 km to go: Atapuma has taken off after Roglic. Further back, Warren Barguil has left the Froome group. Not being a GC threat, he's being allowed to chase KOM points.
Romain Bardet attacked, Froome and Uran closed up. Bardet attacked again and Froome, Landa & Uran closed up. Martin was caught in the process and then attacked again.
Aru is dropped and chasing hard. Yates is dropped. Aru killed himself in a desperate chase and closed back up.
Martin attacked again, and again Aru is dropped.
29 km to go: Aru clawed his way back to Froome. Roglic is still off the front with Atapuma chasing. Contador is 1min 46sec behind Roglic. The Froome group is 2min 20sec behind Roglic.
28 kilometers to go, over the top of the Galibier: The crowds are huge. Roglic was first, then Atapuma with wild Colombian fans running next to him. Contador was swept up by the Froome group and went over with them. Aru followed a few seconds later.
20 km to go: Roglic is on an insane descent of the Galibier. It looks like there are no riders between Roglic and the small Froome group, which is 1min 28sec back. Aru is a further 15sec back.
15 km to go: Roglic is 1min 30sec ahead of Bardet, Uran, Froome, Barguil and Landa. Aru with Dan Martin is more than a half-minute back.
5 km to go: Roglic still has 1min 28sec and is facing a strong headwind. Aru is not closing the gap to the Froome group.
The finish: Primoz Roglic gets a well-earned victory. What a ride!
Landa led out the field sprint, but Uran was second and Froome third.
Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:
Five years after starting cycling at the age of 22, former ski jumper Primoz Roglic became the first Slovenian to win a Tour de France stage as he soloed to victory in Serre-Chevalier after riding Alberto Contador off with 6.5km left in the ascent to the col du Galibier. Chris Froome retained the overall lead but Fabio Aru lost his second place to Rigoberto Uran.
173 riders started stage 17 at La Mûre. One non-starter: Marcel Sieberg (Lotto-Soudal). A crash occurred after 20km of racing, involving polka dot jersey holder Warren Barguil (Sunweb) and green jersey holder Marcel Kittel (Quick-Step Floors) among others. A 33-man breakaway group was formed at the same time with Cyril Gautier and Mathias Frank (AG2R-La Mondiale), Jonathan Castroviejo and Jesus Herrada (Movistar), Michael Gogl, Jarlinson Pantano and Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo), Amaël Moinard, Nicolas Roche and Danilo Wyss (BMC), Darwin Atapuma and Ben Swift (UAE), Rudy Molard (FDJ), Esteban Chaves (Orica-Scott), Serge Pauwels (Dimension Data), Pawel Poljanski (Bora-Hansgrohe), Robert Kiserlovski (Katusha-Alpecin), Thomas De Gendt and Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Michael Matthews, Simon Geschke and Albert Timmer (Sunweb), Nicolas Edet and Dani Navarro (Cofidis), Primoz Roglic (LottoNL-Jumbo), Thomas Voeckler and Sylvain Chavanel (Direct Energie), Alberto Bettiol and Dylan van Baarle (Cannondale-Drapac), Ondrej Cink (Bahrain-Merida), Marco Minnaard (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), Brice Feillu and Pierre-Luc Périchon (Fortuneo-Oscaro).
Defending Barguil's position in the King of the Mountains, Matthews outsprinted De Gendt atop the col d'Ornon (cat. 2, km 30). The duo forged on so Matthews also collected 20 points at the intermediate sprint to reduce his deficit to Kittel to only nine points. But Kittel called it a race at half way.
De Gendt and Matthews also climbed to col de la Croix-de-Fer in the lead until they got caught by Navarro. All eyes were on Alberto Contador (Trek-Segafredo) who attacked from the yellow jersey group, followed by Nairo Quintana (Movistar) who couldn't hold his pace. Contador bridged a gap of four minutes to come across to his team-mates Mollema and Pantano. De Gendt and Navarro stayed away until 89km to go, after which Trek-Segafredo strongly led the peloton on the way to the col du Télégraphe and the col du Galibier, the highest peak of the Tour. Roglic was first to attack at the exit of Valloire with 45km to go meanwhile the yellow jersey group led by Team Sky was 3.30 adrift. Contador and Pauwels went with him. Atapuma and Frank rejoined them 11km before the summit. With 6.5km remaining in the ascent, Roglic attacked again and it was the decisive move.
In the yellow jersey group, Dan Martin (Quick-Step Floors) and Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale) successively attacked. Fabio Aru (Astana) struggled and eventually lost contact. Winning the sprint for second place behind Roglic in Serre-Chevalier, Rigoberto Uran (Cannondale-Drapac) moved into second overall in the same time with Bardet while Aru dropped to fourth with a deficit of 53 seconds. Roglic who hails from Strahovlje in the Slovenian mountains was famous for an horrific crash as a ski jumper in Planeca in 2007. As a neo pro, he won the big time trial of the Giro d'Italia in the Chianti area last year. He delivered in the French Alps the 49th stage victory at the Tour de France for the LottoNL-Jumbo team that is the second longest serving after Movistar since they have taken part in the race since 1984 as Kwantum-Hallen and been known as Rabobank for many years.

No one found any chinks in Chris Froome's armor today.
The Col du Galibier (alt. 2642m) is one of the giants in the legend of the Tour. It's the third highest in the history after La Bonnette (2802m), the Iseran (2764m) and Agnel (2744m). It's the highest stage finish in the history since Andy Schleck won up there in 2011. Interestingly, the climb that hosts the memorial of race founder Henri Desgrange hasn't been on the Tour route since 2011. Actually, it was in 2015 but it was substituted by the col de la Croix de Fer due to a pile of rubble.
Six years between two passages at the Galibier is a record. The peloton has changed a lot since 2011. From the current top 10 on GC, only Rigoberto Uran was racing the Tour six years ago, for Team Sky (26th). For the likes of Chris Froome, Fabio Aru, Romain Bardet and even Nairo Quintana who targets a stage win in the Alps, the Galibier will be a new experience. Climbing from Valloire after the Télégraphe, it's a grueling climb in the last eight kilometers past Plan-Lachat above 2000 metres of altitude. It's a downhill finish 28km further down at Serre-Chevalier. It's the kingdom of the climbers, the place for attacking the yellow jersey if Team Sky leaves some room for that.
