TOUR DE FRANCE

IT WAS third time lucky for Switzerland’s Marc Hirschi as he claimed his maiden Tour de France stage victory in Sarran Correze, while Primoz Roglic retained the yellow jersey. Hirschi, making his Tour debut at the age of 22, had twice been on the podium in the opening week of the race after seeing attacking efforts fall short. But he delivered for Team Sunweb on stage 12 as he broke clear on the climb of the Suc au May before soloing to victory.
