Briton Adam Yates grabbed the yellow jersey on Wednesday 2 September after Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck) was sanctioned by the jury of commissioners.
The latter received a penalty which made him lose the yellow jersey to the benefit of the Briton, the organizers announced.
Alaphilippe received a 20-second penalty for unauthorized refueling in the final of the stage leading to Privas.

Winner in Albi during the Tour-2019, he sprinted ahead of Dutchman Cees Bol (Sunweb) and Irishman Sam Bennett (Deceuninck-Quick Step), over the 183 km between Gap and Privas.
