Adam Yates: 'I knew he [Simon] was going good. I speak to him every day. We're really close and to share this experience with him is really nice... but I wish he would pull a bit easier because he almost dropped me!' TDF2023
Behind, Adam's teammate Tadej Pogačar won the sprint for third and took four bonus seconds on defending champion Jonas Vingegaard.
"I had the yellow jersey a few years ago, in the Covid year 2020, but really I just want to keep my feet on the ground. We're here for Tadej — the boss. He's shown before he's the best in the world and over the next few weeks I'm sure he is going to show it."An understandably more disappointed Simon said:"It was tricky getting into the climb, it wasn't easy against teams who have the numbers, it was a bit difficult to position ourselves.
"At first when he saw it was me he was put in a difficult situation because he asked on the radio straight away. He wasn't pulling straight away but I kind of knew that, it was tricky. I had to take an opportunity, normally in a finish like that I wouldn't beat Pogačar or Vingegaard in a real fast sprint, but to go away with Adam there's a chance.
