Tadej Pogacar conceded defeat to Jonas Vingegaard in the fight for yellow as Felix Gall beat Simon Yates to victory on stage 17 of the Tour de France.

While Gall and Yates fought out stage honours from the breakaway in Courchevel, the overall battle in this Tour was effectively decided on the mighty Col de la Loze at the end of the 166km stage from Saint-Gervais.
