The final stage before the rest day of the 2020 Tour de France ended with another white jersey for Egan Bernal and with it another congratulatory bouquet, this time handed to a fan who had travelled from Colombia to see him compete.

But rather than more white jerseys, the Ineos Grenadiers leader, who lies second overall after stage 9 through the Pyrenees, is fully focussed on adding to his 2019 yellow jersey haul over the remaining 12 days of racing.
