"The first sprint day is always intense" - Adam Yates safely survives the chaos to ensure another day in yellow at the Tour de France
CyclingMonday, 03 July 2023 at 18:23
The first relatively quiet day as far as the general classification goes, stage 3 was no less stressful for the overall leader Adam Yates after a chaotic finale.
"It was a beautiful day," the winner of stage 1 said in his post-stage interview. "For us it was about recovering, as much as possible. This was one of the few days on which we were able to do that, although we still had to stay out of the crowd in the final."
The stage was eventually won by Alpecin-Deceuninck's Jasper Philipsen in a chaotic finale that needed a lengthy check by the race jury before Philipsen was confirmed as the winner.
In the opinion of Yates however, the course in the final few kilometres was laid out well. "The first sprint day is always intense, but the course is laid out well," he compliments. "That certainly helps, because that way you can limit the falls."

- Nonsense Mistermaumau. Tom has noticeably more character and personality than Mathieu. Look at the photograph with this article - when was the last time you saw Mathieu crack a smile like that?RupertBear17-12-2024
- Get over yourself! Tom is fine, he's quite a character in his way - he's got a great sense of humour for a start. Watch him and Matt Stephens do one of their cafe rides, they're both a hoot. I don't mind Mathieu, but he's a bit of a cold fish in case you haven't noticed. You guys make me laugh, you get a unique rider like Tom appears on the scene and all you can do is bitch! By the way Senna, your use of a comma and then the lack of a space between words is usually an indicator of ASD. Now I'm being bitchy!RupertBear17-12-2024
- Whining isn’t a good look, Lance. Oh and doping or not, the GOAT is still Eddy Merckx imho - lance couldn’t t even come close when you compare resultsCrashjames16-12-2024
- * not taking anything away from the tireless sacrifices wout has made as a superstar. those are two extraordinary individuals.OCexile16-12-2024
- sadly true. mathieu is the bedrock AD was built on, and he’s always shouldered that role and always seen the bigger picture: took MUCH less money than he could have gotten while the team was growing, and has written them new book on what it means to be a completely selfless superstar, witness every ferocious leadout for jasper and what he did at MSR last year. yup, so far that’s not thomas.OCexile16-12-2024
