Bonjour le Tour! Hello and welcome to live coverage of Stage 17 of the Tour de France - a lumpy 200km ride from the historic Pont du Gard to Gap.

So, that's four wins each now for Mitchelton-Scott and Jumbo-Visma, with QuickStep and Lotto Soudal on three each and Groupama-FDJ, Bahrain Merida and Bora-Hansgrohe on one apiece.

The remnants of the break are - and will - cross the line in dribs and drabs for the next few minutes and beyond having splintered ahead of the final climb with 20-odd kilometres remaining. The peloton, meanwhile, is still 18 minutes down so we'll have a long wait for the confirmation of the GC places.

Kasper Asgreen (Deceuninck-QuickStep) just holds on for third place at 38 seconds before Gren van Avermaet (CCC Team) leads the rest of the chasers home a couple of seconds back.

Victory for Matteo Trentin of Mitchelton-Scott! A third Tour stage win for the Italian European champion - and a fourth win in this year's Tour for Mitchelton-Scott after Daryl Impey and two for Simon Yates.

Under the flamme rouge for the Italian...

Meanwhile, back in the pack and there's some BEEF between Tony Martin and Luke Rowe, with the German veteran trying to ride his Welsh counterpart off the road. Nasty manoeuvre there - and there must be a back story about that one...

Trentin still has 400m on Asgreen...

Trentin is on course for a third win on the Tour after his previous scalps in 2013 and 2014.

Izagirre and Skujins have jined Perichon in pursuit of Asgreen and Trentin.

Asgreen is 28 seconds down on Trentin, Perichon is 36 seconds down and the Van Avermaet group is 47 seconds.

Over the top goes the European champion Matteo Trentin. Behind, Asgreen has caught and passed Perichon ahead of the summit, which he crests with a deficit of around 25 seconds.

Kasper Asgreen puts in an attack from the chase group and the young Dane rides clear. But surely it's too little, too late.

Postlberger has joined Bora teammate Oss in the chase group, which has also been boosted by the presence of Herrada, Perichon's Cofidis teammate, and Teuns. But they still trail Trentin by 40 seconds.

This is a superb effort from Trentin who, provided he can go over the summit in pole position, can win a fourth stage for Mitchelton-Scott. He's unzipped his jersey and is pouring water over his head and neck. The Italian has 23 seconds on Perichon and another 10 seconds on Van Avermaet, Asgreen, Oss, Izagirre and Skujins.

They're onto the Cat.3 Col de la Sentinelle (5.2km at 5.4%). Trentin has Perichon in pursuit, 13 seconds down and just ahead of the others, with the second group of escapees 55 seconds down.

With Stake Laengen, Périchon, Scully and King all dropped, Trentin makes his move just ahead of the start of the categorised climb.

But it's not a given because the leading group of 10 is starting to play mind games. King puts in a big attack on an incline, then hits the wall, as does Scully... it's whittling down fast.

The gap continues to grow for the leaders - they have 35 seconds now.
