Ben Healy, who became the first Irishman in 38 years to wear the yellow jersey at the Tour de France, reflects after his third-place finish in Stage 10, explaining why he couldn't be happier about his performance so far.

Ben Healy and his EF Education-EasyPost team spent the rest day in Toulouse basking in the bright light and happiness that the Tour de France leader's jersey brings, thinking about how they can keep it as long as possible as the race heads into the Pyrenees.

Healy was in the same main chase group as Pogačar after a fraught, hilly stage around the southern city of Toulouse when the UAE Team Emirates-XRG leader was thrown off balance by another rider's manoeuvre, falling some four kilometres from the line.

On Thursday, he won the sixth stage, and Ben Healy was perhaps the top favorite for the Tour de France's tenth stage. But the Irishman from EF Education - EasyPost put his ambitions for the day aside and secured the yellow jersey.
