Tour de France 2023: Did Simon Yates let twin brother win on Stage 1? Debate rages over Adam Yates victory
Did Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla) let his twin brother win the opening stage of the 2023 Tour de France? That was the big debate on The Breakaway after a thrilling first chapter saw Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) take a maiden victory at the Tour. The pair combined magnificently to open up an advantage on a select group containing pre-race favourites Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), ensuring it would be a famous day in the Yates household and the rarest of one-two finishes.
