Adam Yates was born a few minutes after his twin brother Simon, but on Saturday the UAE Emirates rider was first to the finish line just ahead of his sibling to grab his maiden Tour de France victory.
Adam's win came 10 years after Simon beat him in a one-two in the fifth stage of the Tour de l'Avenir in Morzine.and was soon joined by Simon, who is riding for the Jayco-AIUla team, as the duo opened a 20-second gap going into the final uphill drag.
"It's super special to me, a one-two in the Tour de France for brothers, not many people can say they've done it, it was nice we did it," Adam told a news conference.The previous brotherly double on the Tour was in 2011, when Luxemburg's Andy Schleck finished first in Serre Chevalier some two minutes ahead of second-placed Frank.
In the descent and on the flat part before the last uphill kilometre, Adam did not work in tandem with his brother, his main job being to help two-time Tour champion Tadej Pogacar.
