Tour de France: Tadej Pogacar and Adam Yates to be UAE co-leaders - 'The injury isn’t completely behind him'
Tadej Pogacar and Adam Yates will be co-leaders for UAE Team Emirates at the Tour de France, general manager Mauro Gianetti has revealed. In a surprising move, Pogacar — a two-time winner of the Tour and arguably cycling's standout all-round performer — has been given equal status with Yates, in a decision that has its roots in the Slovenian's crash at Liege-Bastogne-Liege back in April, which has seen him miss large swathes of training ahead of the Tour. Ad Yates, who has a best of fourth at the Tour in 2016, joined UAE from Ineos Grenadiers last September.
