Tour de France, Aru yellow jersey

For six seconds Fabio Aru is in the yellow jersey after the twelfth stage of the Tour de France, the one that crossed the Pyrenees with 6 mountain grand prix and arrived in Peyragudes, with an uphill finish. Right on the last climb the Sardinian cyclist attacked, about 400 meters from the finish, detaching the British Chris Froome and taking the yellow jersey away from him for just six seconds, also thanks to the bonus obtained with the third place in the stage.

The fraction was won by the French Romain Bardet, ahead of the Colombian Rigoberto Uran and precisely the Italian Fabio Aru, who detached Froome. Even further Nairo Quintana, who collapsed in the last kilometers of the final climb. Now Aru is in the yellow jersey ahead of the Briton of Team Sky, already three times winner of the Tour de France and to the French stage winner Bardet, third, 25 seconds behind the 2017 Italian champion. Fourth Uran, fifth the Irishman Daniel Martin. Quintana retreats 4 minutes behind
