Tour de France Stage 10: Ben Healy Takes Yellow Jersey After Gutsy Mountain Ride

Ben Healy made history as the fourth Irishman to wear the Tour de France yellow jersey after a stellar performance in the first mountainous stage through France’s Massif Central. Although he finished third behind stage winner Simon Yates, Healy's brilliant riding earned him the most combative rider title and a 29-second lead over Tadej Pogacar in the general classification. The 23-year-old, who claimed his first Tour stage win days earlier, now follows in the footsteps of Irish greats like Sean Kelly and Stephen Roche.
