Adam Yates wins stage after brothers break away togetherEnric Mas crashes out and Ricardo Carapaz loses time
Adam Yates outlasted his twin brother, Simon, in the final metres to win the Tour de France’s opening stage and take the yellow jersey after the British pair – who ride for different teams – launched an incredible late break on stage one of the Tour de France.
After a breakaway was caught with 50km to go, Adam (UAE Team Emirates) and Simon (Team Jayco-Ulala) made an extraordinary break, working together to open a gap on a chasing group that included last year’s champion, Jonas Vingegaard and his general classification rival, Tadej Pogacar.
