Twin energy powered a memorable finish as the 110th Tour de France got underway in Bilbao, Spain.
Twin brothers, Adam and Simon Yates, finished the stage in first and second place respectively – the last brothers to do so were Andy and Frank Schleck in 2011. The Yates brothers finished just 4 seconds apart in the 182km first stage but it was Adam, representing UAE Team Emirates, who took the victory away from Simon, racing for Jayco AlUla. “My brother came across to me. I didn’t know if I should work with him.
It was a humid day so unfortunately, he got the better of me but I’m sure there are more chances coming.” Since the 1950s, the Tour has often started in a different country as a way of allowing fans from other nations to experience the race. In total, 176 riders will race in 21 different stages including eight flat stages, eight mountain stages, four hilly stages, one individual time trial, and two rest days. The race will finish in Paris on the Champs-Élysées on Sunday, July 23.
