Edvald Boasson Hagen won his second stage of the Tour de France on a day yellow jersey Thomas Voeckler lost a slice of time in the overall standings. Twenty-four hours after narrowly missing out to compatriot Thor Hushovd in Gap, Sky youngster Boasson Hagen showed his class with superb solo break on the last climb of the 179km stage 17 to the Italian town of Pinerolo. Boasson Hagen attacked from a 14-man break on the second-category Cote de Pramartino 11km from the finish, crossing the summit in pole position before expertly negotiating the tricky descent to follow Hushovd’s example and take his second stage of the race – and Norway’s fourth.
