Stage 17 will kick off from Le Pont du Gard where the riders already passed yesterday, showcasing an extraordinary heritage. Heading to the Alps, the Mont Ventoux will offer a beautiful view at the exit of the Rhône valley where the wind could be a factor, but it’s a stage for attackers. Thomas De Gendt is up for it. Sprinters like Peter Sagan and Michael Matthews can also be ambitious, either in being part of the winning move or getting their team to set up a bunch gallop in which not all the sprinters will be in contention. The cat. 3 col de la Sentinelle with 8.5km to go is too hard for some but not all of the fast men.
