CNN —Twin energy powered a memorable 1-2 finish on Saturday as the 110th Tour de France got underway in Bilbao, Spain.
Twin brothers, Adam and Simon Yates, finished the stage in first and second place respectively – the last brothers to do so were Andy and Frank Schleck in 2011.
I asked [the team] and they said ‘go for it’,” Adam told reporters after securing the yellow jacket.
“I’m ecstatic for him, but I also wanted to win,” Simon told reporters, in typical sibling fashion.
Despite finishing behind the Yates brothers, Pogačar, who is teammates with Adam, said he was happy with the results from Bilbao.
