‘It was tense’ – Jonathan Vaughters on EF Education-EasyPost’s emotions and strategy as Ben Healy takes Tour de France yellow jersey

The Tour de France has been an unqualified success for EF Education-EasyPost so far, with Ben Healy the star of the team. After taking a spectacular solo victory on stage 6, he swapped the American team’s iconic pink kit for the maillot jaune after making the breakaway on stage 10 on Monday.

After his teammates dragged Healy at the rest of the day’s breakaway over the hills of the Massif Central, Healy did enough to hold off the pursuit of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) by 29 seconds.
