Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin) claimed his first stage victory of the 2026 Tour de France on Wednesday, winning the 17th stage from Chambéry to Voiron. The Belgian sprinter, aided by teammate Mathieu van der Poel, beat Mauro Schmid and Olav Kooij in a reduced sprint of about 25 riders Source: elnacionalve. The stage was marked by relentless attacks from the start, with multiple breakaway attempts and a fierce battle for the green jersey Source: abces.
Green jersey battle
Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) was the main protagonist, launching several solo moves and winning the intermediate sprint to collect 25 points. However, Philipsen's victory reduced the gap in the points classification to just seven points, setting up a tight contest before the final mountain stages Source: lavanguardia.
General classification unchanged
Tour leader Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) finished safely in the main peloton, maintaining his 4'32" lead over Remco Evenepoel. Isaac del Toro (UAE), third overall, survived a scare when he was briefly dropped but rejoined Source: mileniomx. Adam Yates also struggled but recovered with team help.

Looking ahead, three decisive Alpine stages await, with the first finishing at Orcières-Merlette on Thursday.
