Milan wins Tour stage 17 in sprint finish

Jonathan Milan claimed his second victory of this year's Tour de France by winning a sprint finish on stage 17.

A bunch finish was expected on the 160.4km stage from Bollene to Valence and with 4km remaining, the peloton caught the final rider from a four-man breakaway.

Rain was pouring for the final 30km and Milan's sprint rivals Tim Merlier and Biniam Girmay were involved in a crash just inside the final kilometre.

Milan then proved too strong for Jordi Meeus, to strengthen his grip on the green jersey for points classification leader.
