Simon Yates wins Tour de France Stage on All-New Addict RC
19 July 2019
The British rider made it into the break of the day before attacking over the top of the final climb in a leading trio and taking the win in a three-up sprint in Bagnères-de-Bigorre. Meanwhile twin brother Adam Yates rolled home in the peloton 9’35” later with no action amongst the general classification contenders.
The win means that Simon Yates has now won a stage in all three Grand Tours after his victories in the Giro d’Italia (2018) and the Vuelta a España (2016 and 2018).
Simon Yates:
“I’ve been saving energy all the way until we got here in the mountains and this is my first chance to try something. Normally I’ve been back in the peloton helping Adam, but today I had my own chance so I’ve grabbed it with both hands.”
“Really my main priority here is to help Adam and today was just one of the chances to get up the road, so we’ll see how we go in the next few days. We’re having a fantastic Tour and long may it continue.”
