Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) edged twin brother Simon Yates (Jayco-AlUla) on Stage 1 as the 2023 Tour de France began with a bang. The British duo pulled clear after the final climb with pre-race favourites Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) content to sit back after earlier lighting up the stage.
BILBAO, Spain :Britain's Adam Yates pipped his own twin brother Simon to claim the opening stage of the Tour de France and don the first yellow jersey of this year's race at the end of a 182.5-km loop around Bilbao on Saturday.
Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) wrote off his own hopes of winning the yellow jersey at the 2023 Tour de France before the first pedal stroke, telling Eurosport he was “not good enough” to top the general classification. The multi-talented Brit, who won atop Alpe d'Huez last year after a descending masterclass, said he would target stage victories again and «see what happens on GC».
Eurosport expert Adam Blythe is predicting that Ineos Grenadiers could have their «worst Tour de France in terms of general classification hopes.» Ineos, previously Team Sky, once dominated the peloton at the Tour de France, winning the yellow jersey for five straight years from 2015 to 2019. Ad But this summer their team doesn’t appear to have a strong favourite to battle the GC favourites like Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates).
Tadej Pogacar has revealed his injured wrist still needs more time to heal, but the UAE Team Emirates star remains confident of his Tour de France chances.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) “is the man” and “will win” the 2023 Tour de France, according to Eurosport expert Jens Voigt. The Slovenian is on a revenge mission after seeing Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) end his two-year streak in the yellow jersey last year. Ad After a brilliant spring yielded wins at Paris-Nice, the Tour of Flanders and Amstel Gold, Pogacar looked to be the clear favourite heading into this summer's Tour.
The wait is over! The 2023 Tour de France kicks off on Saturday and the roads of Bilbao look set to serve up a treat on Stage 1. There’s no prologue or rudimentary bunch sprint for the first day of this Tour. Instead, a hilly opener to and from Bilbao features 3,300m of vertical gain and includes the spiky Pike Bidea climb 10km from the finish, with an average gradient of 10% over 2km.
Jonas Vingegaard is determined not to fall for any mind games coming from the camp of Tadej Pogacar as the Dane prepares to defend his Tour de France title.
