Porte’s years-long assault on the Tour de France podium has finally born fruit. On Saturday Porte had the TT of his life, finishing third place on the stage (1:21 behind Pogačar) to leapfrog Miguel Ángel López and take the final spot on the podium.
Adam Yates held a top-10 finish at the Tour de France (9th) despite having a team that was initially built around stage hunting. He rode a smart and measured race, and took his opportunities when they appeared and limited his losses when he wasn’t strong enough.
