Jai Hindley takes first mountain stage of race and yellow jerseyAdam Yates’ lead evaporates as Jonas Vingegaard goes second
Jai Hindley of Australia won the first mountain stage of the Tour de France, from Pau to Laruns, after the cruel climb of the Col de Marie Blanque saw Adam Yates’s race leadership evaporate and his UAE Emirates teammate, the former champion, Tadej Pogacar, wilt.
As Bora-Hansgrohe’s Hindley rode alone over the climb and sped down the descent into Laruns to win the stage and take the maillot jaune of overall race leadership, the defending Tour champion, Jonas Vingegaard, left Pogacar in his wake, 1km from the summit.
