Yates wins Tour de France's first mountainous stage and Healy takes yellow jersey
LE MONT-DORE, France — British rider Simon Yates won the first mountainous stage of the Tour de France on Monday and Irish rider Ben Healy was consoled by taking the yellow jersey.
Healy was nominated the most combative rider of the day after forcing the initiative on the 10th stage, but Yates - who won the Giro d'Italia last month – timed his break perfectly on the final climb to win a stage for the third time.
