Mollema does a 53:42 in tenth place but that’s goodbye podium for the dutchman
2013 Tour de France: Stage 17 live updates, blog
Mollema over cooked the corner where Peraud crashed but he just kisses the barriers and is off again
2013 Tour de France: Stage 17 live updates, blog
The result will be just seconds between Froome and Contador
2013 Tour de France: Stage 17 live updates, blog
The rain is coming down now so that’s advantage Contador
2013 Tour de France: Stage 17 live updates, blog

SBS just showed Peraud crashing and he did it in his right side, what pain
2013 Tour de France: Stage 17 live updates, blog
We’ll see how Contador goes on the descent, could it cost him a stage win?
2013 Tour de France: Stage 17 live updates, blog
Contador takes the KOM points but Froome will keep the maillot pois as his lead couldn’t be caught by anyone today
2013 Tour de France: Stage 17 live updates, blog
Froome is in fire and he’ll snatch a new bike just before the time check whereas everyone else changed after the timecheck
ten dam has done a 54:02 time
2013 Tour de France: Stage 17 live updates, blog
Mollema at the third check is off the time of the top ten so he’ll need to pick up the pace on the descent.
