Alaphilippe wore yellow for 14 stages in last year\u2019s Tour and won the hearts of people all over the world. Can he do it again? The Frenchman himself said that he would not target yellow this year. However, he\u2019s already donned it. Could his plans change? What do you think?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179179\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179179\" style=\"width: 1800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-179179\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2020\/08\/profimedia-0555590862.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1199\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179179\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alaphilippe arrives prior to the start of the 3rd stage. \u00a9 Profimedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Adam Yates finished third in today\u2019s stage and sits in second place, trailing just 4 seconds behind Alaphilippe. There are a couple more mountainous stages ahead before the pros reach the Pyrenees. It is more than possible that Yates will reach them wearing the leader\u2019s jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Peter Sagan used one of his signature moves to climb up the ladder in the points competition. He joined a breakaway and claimed 17 points at the intermediate sprint. However, Matteo Trentin was there as well and claimed 20.
