Roglic leads Tour de France after epic mountain trek


Primoz Roglic finally seized the race leader's yellow jersey after another hectic day of Tour de France racing in the mountains as debutant Marc Hirschi of Switzerland delivered an impressive 90-kilometer solo effort across four Pyrenean climbs. Roglic, the Slovenian favorite this year alongside defending champion Egan Bernal, displayed his strong climbing credentials in the final ascent Sunday to dethrone overnight leader Adam Yates. It's a performance that earned him the first yellow jersey of his career after nine days of racing.
