Ben Healy has written his name into the Irish cycling history books with a magnificent ride to move into the overall race lead at the Tour de France.

The 24-year-old started Monday’s Bastille Day stage 3:55 behind three-time champion Tadej Pogacar in the general classification standings, but finished the 165.3 km ride from Ennezat to Le Mont-Dore Puy de Sancy 4:20 ahead of the Slovenian star.
