Welcome to live coverage of stage 17 of the Tour de France, a 179km up-and-down trek from Gap to Pinerolo in Italy, via the huge climb to Sestrieres.

Voeckler comes home 26 down on the Evans group so he's still 1:19 ahead in the GC.

The Schlecks and Evans group have caught Contador and Sanchez just before the finish. No time gains.

Under the flamme rouge for the two Spaniards. They have 25-odd seconds on Voeckler, apparently. But they only have five seconds on the Evans group.

Even though Voeckler's been off twice, Basso is still behind him. He'll keep his yellow, but Evans will be close tonight.

Contador and Sanchez have a big gap in the valley as they time trial their way to the finish.

Mollema takes second place 37 secs down.

VOECKLER!! The Frenchman goes into the same back garage space as Hivert did! This is extraordinary.

That's two for Boasson Hagen and four for Norway!

Eddy clenches his fist - he knows he's won!

Under the flamme rouge for Boasson Hagen. One day on from Hushovd, we have another double stage winner from Norway.

Contador and Sanchez flying down this descent!

Voeckler leading the descent before he almost comes off on the same bend as Hivert!

Boasson Hagen is onto the flat and is looking good for the win.

Hivert over shoots another bend and ends up in someone's back garden!

It's Taaramae setting the pace as they go over the top. Schleck is in second place, ready to take this one on.

Taaramae ups the pace on the front - just as they catch and pass Hoogerland.

Basso came to the front for a period. Now it's Andy Schleck on the front, looking over his shoulder.

Boasson Hagen continues his ride to glory... what a win this will be for the Norwegian.

Hivert almost comes a cropper on the descent! The Frenchman has to take a foot out and narrowly avoids going over the edge... but he does on the next bend, and rolls into a ditch!

Another dig by Contador! But Frank Schleck responds with a dig of his own.
