Tour de France riders have applauded for a minute before the 12th stage in memory of Samuele Privitera, the 19-year-old Italian who died after a crash while racing in Italy.

So far we’ve seen a largely-imperious Tadej Pogačar, an aggressive Visma-Lease A Bike squad, a super-strong Ben Healy, a hyper-committed Mathieu van der Poel and myriad other storylines. All in all it’s been an enthralling edition of the Tour.

Though it doesn’t always hold sway, Tour de France tradition dictates that in the event of an unfortunate crash or mechanical problem, the peloton sits up and waits for the rider in the yellow jersey. But Pogačar wasn’t in yellow on Wednesday. Irish rider Ben Healy snagged the overall lead earlier in the week and had the jersey on his shoulders.
