the mountains ahead, anything but. the toughest stage of the race so far, not everybody would make it. this was european championjacques nizzolo, his race over. the descents were no more straightforward and for a time yates looks to be struggling with his lead under threat as challengers squeezed through, tightening the gap. france's nans peters emerging victorious at the end of the stage, quite a the moment for him the race was unfolding. yates summoning just enough strength, his rivals on his back but for now, so too is that yellow jersey. the british athletics championships have continued in manchester this afternoon but the finish of the day had to be in the men's 800 metres where there was a huge run from dan rowden who simply found
