Adam Yates (UAE Emirates) won the first stage of the Tour de France on Saturday, July 1 and becomes the first test leader after beat his brother Simon at the finish line in Bilbao next to the one who escaped in the descent of the Pike, the last port of the day with departure in Bilbao.
The UAE team cyclist had more strength in the final stretch of the stage and achieved his first individual victory in the gala round and prevailed a few meters ahead of his brother Simon Yates (Jayco AlUla), who already had two, with about 20 seconds ahead of peloton led by the Slovenian Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates)who entered with his arms raised for the victory of his teammate.
Yates, seen by the UAE as a backup leader if Pogacar has no legs, helped their leader climb Pike and then found the strength to leave with his brother Simon. Both collaborated to maintain twenty seconds with respect to the group of favorites.
The stage was marked by a fall with about 20 kilometers to go in which the Spanish Enric Mas was involved, who had to abandon, and the Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz, who was able to continue but lost many minutes.
