The race was won by Australian rider Rohan Dennis,[3] of the BMC Racing Team; Dennis finished second to Frenchman Alexandre Geniez (FDJ) on the second stage to take the leader's blue jersey, and maintained this with another second-place stage finish the following day – behind Italy's Mattia Cattaneo from the Androni Giocattoli–Sidermec team – to take the victory overall by two seconds ahead of Cattaneo.[4] Geniez completed the podium, a further two seconds in arrears, after a tie-break with Direct Énergie rider Jonathan Hivert.
Dennis also won the points classification as the most consistent finisher over the three days, with Geniez winning the multi-coloured jersey for the best cumulative placings in the general, points and mountains classifications. UAE Team Emirates rider Jan Polanc was the winner of the mountains classification, while the young rider classification was claimed by Geniez's teammate Léo Vincent, finishing 15th overall. In fifth place overall, Julien El Fares (Delko–Marseille Provence KTM) was the top-placed rider from the Provence region, while the teams classification was won by the BMC Racing Team.
In the 2017 Tour La Provence, four different jerseys were awarded for the main classifications. For the general classification, calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage, the leader received a blue jersey. This classification was considered the most important of the 2017 Tour La Provence, and the winner of the classification was considered the winner of the race.
Additionally, there was a points classification, which awarded a green jersey. In the points classification, cyclists received points for finishing in the top 15 in a mass-start stage. For winning a stage, a rider earned 25 points, with 20 for second, 16 for third, 13 for fourth, 11 for fifth with a point fewer per place down to a single point for 15th place. Points towards the classification could also be accrued at intermediate sprint points during each stage. There was also a mountains classification, the leadership of which was marked by a red jersey. In the mountains classification, points were won by reaching the top of a climb before other cyclists, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs. The fourth jersey represented the young rider classification, marked by a white jersey. This was decided in the same way as the general classification, but only riders born after 1 January 1994 were eligible to be ranked in the classification.
Additional jerseys were also awarded for the best rider in the overall classification from the Provence region (grey jersey), the most combative rider (black jersey) and the rider placed highest cumulatively across the general, points and mountains classification (multi-coloured jersey).
