Sprinting for Polka Dots TdF23-3
Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost) was just able to out sprint a frustrated Georg Zimmerman (Intermache-Circus-Wanty) to claim the five KOM points on offer at the top of the Cote de Vivero. Given the climbs Cat 2 rating, it gave the American on the American team enough points to pull on the Maillot a Pois at the end of the opening stage of this year's Tour. Zimmermann pounded his bars in disappointment, but then reached out and congratulated Powless on this sprint. No sense making any enemies in the peloton on the first day of the Tour.
