Stage 17 of the 2026 Tour de France ended in chaos for Lidl-Trek in Voiron, as their team tactics appeared to fall apart in the fight for the stage win and the green jersey.

Quinn Simmons went on the move, but the plan did not work out, and the race came back together for a sprint where Jasper Philipsen took the victory.

In this on-site report from southeast France, we break down the confusing tactics from Lidl-Trek and what they may have been trying to do for Mads Pedersen.

Pedersen finished eighth on the stage, while rival Philipsen won, cutting the green jersey battle down to just seven points.
