The 2017 Tour de Luxembourg was the 77th edition of the Tour de Luxembourg cycle stage race. It was held between 31 May and 4 June, as part of the 2017 UCI Europe Tour as a 2.HC event. [2] Defending champion Maurits Lammertink did not compete in the race, as he elected to compete in the partly-concurrent Critérium du Dauphiné event in France. [3]

Contents

The race was won by Belgium's Greg Van Avermaet, riding for the BMC Racing Team. [4] After winning the second stage of the race, Van Avermaet took the race lead from teammate Jempy Drucker, after finishing second to Cofidis rider Anthony Perez the following day. Van Avermaet cemented the race victory by winning the final stage of the race, ultimately winning the race by 29 seconds overall, [1] and winning the points classification as a result. [5]

Perez held the young rider classification lead going into the final day by just one second ahead of Benjamin Thomas (Armée de Terre) and Xandro Meurisse of Wanty–Groupe Gobert, but Meurisse took the jersey, [6] by finishing in third place on the final stage behind Van Avermaet and WB Veranclassic Aqua Protect's Alex Kirsch, accumulating enough bonus seconds to overhaul both riders into second place overall. [1] Perez completed the podium, seven seconds down on Meurisse. [1] In the race's other classifications, Fortuneo–Vital Concept rider Brice Feillu won the mountains classification, [7] while the teams classification was won by Cofidis, after placing Perez, Luis Ángel Maté and Nicolas Edet in the top ten overall.

Classification leadership table

In the 2017 Tour de Luxembourg, four jerseys were awarded. The general classification was calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. Time bonuses were awarded to the first three finishers on all stages except for the individual time trial: the stage winner won a ten-second bonus, with six and four seconds for the second and third riders respectively. [22] Bonus seconds were also awarded to the first three riders at intermediate sprints – three seconds for the winner of the sprint, two seconds for the rider in second and one second for the rider in third. [22] The leader of the general classification received a yellow jersey. This classification was considered the most important of the 2017 Tour de Luxembourg, and the winner of the classification was considered the winner of the race.

Position12345678910
Points awarded20161311975321

The second classification was the points classification. Riders were awarded points for finishing in the top ten in a stage, with the exception of the prologue. Unlike in the points classification in the Tour de France, the winners of all stages were awarded the same number of points. The leader of the points classification was awarded a blue jersey.

Points for the mountains classification [23]
Position1234
Points for Category 15321
Points for Category 23210

There was also a mountains classification, for which points were awarded for reaching the top of a climb before other riders. Each climb was categorised as either first, or second-category, with more points available for the more difficult, higher-categorised climbs. For first-category climbs, the top four riders earned points, while on second-category climbs, only the top three riders earned points. The leadership of the mountains classification was marked by a purple jersey.

The fourth jersey represented the young rider classification, marked by a white jersey. Only riders born after 1 January 1991 were eligible; the young rider best placed in the general classification was the leader of the young rider classification. [23] There was also a classification for teams, in which the times of the best three cyclists in a team on each stage were added together; the leading team at the end of the race was the team with the lowest cumulative time.
