Crowning Himself King. TDU24-21
First, I am not a fan of this “polka dot jersey.” I can’t even see any polka dots, can you? Nevertheless, Luke Burns (Australia) went over the summit of Willunga Hill, and claimed the maximum King of the Mountain points on offer. Just behind him is Jardi Christian Van Der Lee (EF Edcuation-EasyPost) who is second in the competition, but now has now chance of taking over the lead by the end of the Tour Down Under. It seems appropriate to paint him becoming this year’s Tour Down Under’s King of the Mountians as he rides over the street art crown at the summit of the climb. All he has left to do is finish both today’s and tomorrow’s stages inside of the time limit. Alas, in cycling as in life, there are no guarantees.
