British rider Adam Yates has been promoted up to second place in the Tour De France General Classification.
The Orica Bike Exchange rider was seven seconds clear of the group of favourites when he was struck by the flam rouge airbridge sign which came crashing down and blocked the road.
The race jury has decided that Yates will now have a time of 5.50 behind race leader Greg Van Avermaet and will wear the white young riders jersey which he will be presented with before the start of stage eight.
