An email: “The polka dot jersey is your favorite?” asks Greg Pandise. “I feel like often times the polka dot jersey doesn’t go to the actual best climber of the tour. Honestly, the best climber of the tour ends up being in the yellow most of the time.” A fair point, well made, but it’s just my favourite jersey on an aesthetic level.
23km to go: Tom Skujins’ 15 minutes of fame are about to come an end as his advantage is down to 19 seconds. He hits the foot of the final climb, the Category three Cote Des Cinq Chateux. Back in the bunch, Edvald Boassen Hagan has a mechanical issue, which could scupper his chances of being involved in today’s shake-up.
