Jonathan Milan wins rainy Tour de France Stage 17 after late crash

The Italian won a sprint to the finish line in rainy conditions to take Stage 17 of the 2025 Tour de France on Wednesday, surging in the final stretch ahead of seven others after a late crash. It was Milan’s second stage win of this year’s Tour de France and expanded his lead for the green jersey over defending Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar from 11 points to 72 points with just four races left in cycling’s most famous event.

Pogačar remains in control of the yellow jersey, as he and main rival Jonas Vingegaard avoided trouble on the wet roads that made the 160.4-kilometer course from Bollène to Valence more treacherous than expected. The 2025 Tour de France heads to the French Alps for two grueling mountain stages to close the week with Pogačar closing in on his fourth Tour de France title.

Here’s a look at the complete stage 17 results and 2025 Tour de France standings after Wednesday, July 23, as well as what’s coming up for cycling’s biggest race:
