168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Simon Yates (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Orica-Scott) found himself on the defensive during stage 17 of the Tour de Fran꧅ce, fighting to keep from losing too much time after being distanced on the Col du Galibier.

Yates, 24, came unglued whe🔜n Dan Martin (Quick-Step Floors) attacked. The💖 Irishman began the stage one second behind Yates in the overall classification, and by the day's end was 90 seconds clear into sixth.

"It was✅ a very difficult day, I didn't have the best day and lost some time there in the final," Yates said. "I didn't r﷽eally blow up mentally, I think I limited my losses OK."

The gap to the group ahead was only 20 seconds or so for Yates at the top of the Galibier, but a stiജff headwind on the 25-kilometre descent to the finish, and only one rider for company, Dimension Data's Seꩵrge Pauwels, meant a difficult chase to the line.

"There was quite a lot of wind about and I got shelled off the group towards the end of the final climb. I really fought a lot to stay there as I knew there was still a long way to the finish but I couldn't do anymore.🃏"

Yates did enough to keep his rival in the best young riders' classification, Louis Meintjes (UAE Team Emirates), from threatening his white💙 jersey. Yates finished 3:14 behind stage winner Primoz Roglic (LottoNL-Jumbo), but lost just 90 se𝓰conds to the South African, keeping a 2:28 advantage in the young rider competition.

"We are pretty far into the Tour now and I think I did really well to not lose too much time today," Yates said. "I went full gas on the final climb and I wasn't strong enough today so I 𒉰hope to have better legs."
