Cycling-Trentin wins Tour de France 17th stage

European champion Matteo Trentin won the 17th stage of the Tour de France, a hilly 200-km ride from the Pont du Gard, on Wednesday. The Italian jumped away from a reduced group of breakaway riders at the foot of the last climb and further powered away in the descent to claim his third stage win on the Tour.

It was his Mitchelton-Scott team's fourth stage win this year after Simon Yates's brace and Daryl Impey's victory. Thursday's 18th stage is a 208-km mountain trek between Embrun and Valloire featuring three climbs above 2,000 meters.
