New Polka Dots T18-49
All of the climbs in the Tour thus far have been Catagory 4 and 3 climbs, more hills than mountains, but today that all changes. Over the rest day, the peloton flew down to Annecy to start today in the Alps. It was Rudy Molard (Groupama-FDJ) who jumped free of the large breakaway to claim the 10 points on offer at the summit of the Col de la Croix Fry. With those points he took over the virtual Maillot a Pois. The day includes three more climbs, two catagory 1's and a Haute Catagorie climb of the Montee du plateau des Glieres. It remains to be seen if Molard will be able to stay away for the next 90 kilometers to take maximum points on all of the remaining summits. I doubt it, but I would love to see it.
