Clearly Ahead TdF24-3
Over the previous three climbs of the day, Jonas Abrahamsen (UnoX-Mobility) had been fighting it out with others to claim the maximum points in his quest to claim the first King of the Mountains jersey. One of those giving him a hard time was Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ). Clearly, he went over the Cote de Barbotto first despite Madouas attempt to claim the maximum points. He is now the virtual leader in the competition. As long has he continues to claim more points than the Frenchman he will wear the Polka Dots at the start of stage 2. Spoiler, he did.
