A signed yellow jersey awarded to legendary american cyclist Greg Lemond in the Tour de France is seen in College Cyclery in Midtown Reno on Feb. 8, 2023. The store recently celebrated its 50th anniversary of being in business.
Ren College Cyclery 04 Victor Campenaerts won his first-ever Tour de France stage, coming out on top in the hilly 179.5 kilometer (100 mile) stretch from Gap to Barcelonnette in Stage 18 on Thursday.

Two-time champion Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) of Slovenia retained the yellow jersey. He is three minutes, 11 seconds ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) and five minutes, nine seconds in front of Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step).
