Huge, huge day for our boy Wim!
There were a couple no-shows for today's stage at the back of the classification, and on course he got dropped by the autobus. In fact, he got dropped by the other stragglers, and finished stage 17 dead last, in 141st place.
This runs Vansevenant's Lanterne Rouge cushion up to nearly 6 minutes over the 140th place rider, Briton Thomas Geraint.
Allez, Lanterne Rouge! See you in Paris!
