MONTAUBAN, France (AFP) – Greg Van Avermaet said he will “fight for every second’’ to keep hold of the yellow jersey at the Tour de France on Friday.
The 31-year-old Belgian enjoyed his first ever day in the race leader’s jersey at the Grand Boucle and, as the sixth stage from Arpajon-sur-Cere to Montauban finished in a mass sprint, he will keep the honour for another day.
