Weather at the finish city of Lavarone at 1:30 PM, local time: 14C (57F), light rain, with the wind from the west at 8 km/hr (5 mph). The rain is expected to end about 3:15 PM.

Info about the route: This mountain stage is divided into two parts: it starts uphill, heading towards Passo del Tonale, and then continues mostly downhill for over 70 kilometers, through the Val di Sole and the Val di Non. After crossing the Adige, the route ascends to Palù di Giovo, passing through the Valle dei Mocheni and reaching Pergine Valsugana to tackle the two closing climbs. The Valico del Vetriolo is long but manageable (average 7% gradient), whilst the Menador ascent (Kaiserjägerstrasse) is narrow at points, with tunnels carved out in the rock, and gradients constantly over 10%. Past Monterovere, the finish will only be a few undulating kilometers away.

Final kilometers:
After the KOM and a short descent, the route goes up again, until the -4 km marker, and then drops down once more on wide track. The final 700 meters run on a slight incline. The finish sits on tarmac.

The race: Suffering painful knee problems from his stage four crash, Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jumbo) abandoned.

After two weeks of decent weather, stage 17 gets a wet start. RCS Sport photo

Here's the report from GC leader Richard Carapaz's Team INEOS Grenadiers:

The peloton split apart on the day's final climb, with a final dig from Richie Porte proving instrumental. Only five riders remained at the head of the field, including Carapaz and nearest rival Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe).

There was nothing to separate the two at the line, and with the breakaway soaking up the bonus seconds, the slender overall gap of three seconds remains.

Mikel Landa (Bahrain Victorious) dropped six seconds at the finish, with overnight third placed rider Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) losing 1:10 over the line.

The Grenadiers worked well during the stage to keep the breakaway at a manageable distance, with Salvatore Puccio and Ben Swift getting through a lot of work on the day.
