Britain's Simon Yates won stage 10 on Bastille Day as Ben Healy became the first Irish rider to claim the yellow jersey for 38 years.

Yates, who claimed his second Grand Tour title at the Giro d'Italia in June, timed his attack superbly on the final ascent of the 165.3km stage from Ennezat to Le Mont-Dore Puy de Sancy after being part of a long-range breakaway.

That group of 28 riders was whittled down significantly on a punishing day through the Massif Central that contained eight categorised climbs, with the Visma-Lease a Bike rider pulling clear of Thymen Arensman, Healy, Ben O'Connor, Michael Storer and fellow Briton Joe Blackmore in the closing stages.

Healy went into the day 11th in the general classification standings, almost four minutes behind race leader Tadej Pogacar, but managed to wipe out that deficit and gain a 29-second lead as Pogacar stayed with his main GC rivals.
