Adam Yates will wear the yellow jersey having won the opening stage of the Tour de France in Bilbao, beating twin brother Simon to the victory.

A quite incredible day for the Yates family, both brothers escaping the front of the race over the top of the Côte de Pike, building a lead on the descent, before serving up a head to head on the rise to the line, Adam distancing Simon in the final couple of hundred metres.

Behind, Adam's teammate Tadej Pogačar won the sprint for third and took four bonus seconds on defending champion Jonas Vingegaard.

"I honestly don't know what to say," an elated Adam said afterwards. "We tried to set the climb up for Tadej. It was headwind on the descent, I tried my best, my brother came across to me and we stayed away until the end. At first I didn't know if I should work with him. I asked on the radio and they said 'yeah go for it'. Speechless.

"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!

"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.
