American Tejay van Garderen abandoned the Tour de France on stage 17 after falling ill. The BMC rider lost contact on the 161km stage from Digne-les-Bains to Pra-Loup.

He was back behind Chris Froome and just 22 seconds behind there was Movistar's Nairo Quintana. 

Van Garderen, who was third overall, visited the medical car several times and eventually stepped off his bike with about 73km of the stage left.
