Description

The tour began on 1 July 2017 in Germany, with an individual time trial that started and finished in Düsseldorf. The flat course started alongside the Messe Düsseldorf and followed the right bank of the Rhine, southwards, before crossing the river at the Oberkasseler Bridge (de) and then crossing back at the Rhineknee Bridge (de). After the intermediate time check at the Königsallee, the route headed back towards the Messe Düsseldorf.

The time trial was held in wet conditions, which saw numerous riders crash. Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team) and Ion Izagirre (Bahrain–Merida) suffered the most serious of these crashes, with both riders forced to abandon the Tour.
