LOUDENVIELLE, France (Reuters) - Some contenders were exposed while others imploded in the first mountain test of the Tour de France as Briton Adam Yates hung on to the overall leader's yellow jersey on Saturday. On that climb, a 9.7-km effort at an average gradient of 7.8%, Slovenian Tadej Pogacar, Roglic's compatriot, attacked repeatedly. "I rode my own pace, came back on my own pace (in the last climb) and managed to stay with them over the top." Colombian Bernal, however, still had Ineos Grenadiers' team mate Richard Carapaz in support while Roglic was on his own. Far up the road, Tour debutant Peters of AG2R-La Mondiale was building his victory, his second on a grand tour after a Giro d'Italia stage win last year.
