Today also marks Ben Healy’s first day in the Tour de France’s leader’s jersey.

Just how long the EF Education-EasyPost rider can keep hold of it remains to be seen, especially with a mountainous week on the agenda. Still, the all-rounder is keen to defend the maillot jaune for as long as possible.
