CULOZ, France -- Adam Yates continues to amaze in the Tour de France, for his ability to challenge for the podium and to handle the danger of an errant fan who reportedly hit him.The Britons head sports director Matt White provided a rare insight into Yates calm under pressure before Sundays 160km 15th stage from Bourg-en-Bresse to Culoz in the Jura.White was asked about an incident in which Yates was reportedly struck by a spectator on the ascent to the finish of Thursdays 12th stage from Montpellier to Mont Ventoux where race leader Chris Froome (Sky), Australian Richie Porte (BMC) and Dutchman Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) crashed into a television motor bike that was blocked by crowds.The incident is not the only example of Yates calm under duress. Another was his dignified reaction to the one-kilometre-to-go arch collapsing on him as he attacked the group of race favourites that included Froome in stage eight to Bagnères-de-Luchon.However, White was startled to learn about the latest incident on Mont Ventoux, telling reporters before Sundays stage: I think hes handled the situation very, very maturely. It was a crazy situation. Adam actually got hit.Weve got video footage of someone jumping out of the crowd and hitting Adam, and it was this close to him crashing and he didnt even mention it. It was a ridiculous situation he had to handle as well as all the attention that comes with the white jersey. He has handled it very well. Ive seen a different in maturity and calmness over the last three weeks.After Sundays stage into the Jura won by Colombian Jarlinson Pantano (IAM) -- who outsprinted Polish breakaway companion Rafal Majka (Tinkoff) -- White told ESPN that he learned of the incident when his riders were looking at posted video of it online.Some random fan posted from their telephone the actual incident, White said. The boys were sharing it around the bus. It was only then that I found out how close he was to coming down himself.Meanwhile, White conceded before the stage that the team is now talking of Yates securing a top overall finish, after Yates and the Australian team had played down talk in recent days.After Sundays stage, Froomes overall lead was still one minute 47 seconds on Dutchman Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) and two minutes 45 seconds on Yates, who also kept the white jersey as best younge rider.Its definitely about GC, White told reporters before the stage at the team bus. Youre lying if youre sitting in third place in the Tour de France and you said you didnt care. The white jersey is a big honour. We want to win the white jersey and to do that were going to have to finish high in general classification.It was a slight shift of thought to what White had on Sunday evening: There has been no talk of the podium. There is a lot more pressure on riders like [Alejandro] Valverde, [Nairo] Quintana, [Bauke] Mollema who get paid a lot of a lot of money and whose teams revolve around them to finish on he podium. No one expects Adam to be in the podium next week. He is 23 and in his second Tour de France.White continues to be taken back by Yates progress in this Tour in which he has been tested both physically and with the added pressures of being star player in the race.He has been surprising me since he turned professional, and I dont mind surprises, said White. He certainly had the best time trial of his life [on Saturday]. It was a time trial that didnt suit his characteristics. He has been working on his time trialling over the last year especially (with work in the) wind tunnel and spending more time on the time trial bike.To be in this position with one week to go is a nice place to be in. The white jersey, its a great honour to be leading that category; and we have three bog days in the mountains and a hill time trial to come.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Edson Buddle and Dillon Powers scored 61 minutes apart on Colorados only two shots and the Rapids beat the Columbus Crew 2-0 on Saturday night for their second straight win. Buddle, who scored 42 goals for the Crew from 2001-05, took a pass from Atiba Harris and, after several touches to create space, shot from close range for his second goal of the season in the 8th minute. The play was set up by a cross from Danny Mwanga that found Harris in front of the goal. "I tried to put myself in a dangerous spot and I saw Atiba post up before he got the ball," Buddle said. "If he was able to trap it properly or lay it off, I wanted to be there. It popped right to me. I got a good touch and put it in the back of the net.
