About Tour de France 2025 Stage 17 beforehand

Stage 17 runs 161 kilometres from Bollène to Valence and looks perfect for a sprint on paper. But deep into week three, fatigue sets in - and breakaways often succeed on days like this. It’s a classic tug of war between the sprinters’ teams and escape artists.
