Ireland has a new cycling hero. Ben Healy has become the fourth Irish rider to earn the Tour de France’s yellow jersey on Monday with a gritty ride in the fabled race’s first mountainous stage.

Ireland’s Ben Healy lost a chance at Stage 10 victory Monday but gained something far more valuable when he took over the leader’s yellow jersey at the Tour de France following a 165.3-kilometer battle in the mountains from Ennezat to Le Mont-Dore Puy de Sancy.
