If it is French didn't make very good job. Five wins in last ten years, eight in twenty years  

Yeah, but how many yellow, green & whites?

Indeed, for a mediocre cycling nation, France has a very high success rate in this redundant polka dot classification.

And if they don't get it, there's always the combativity award, just make sure you're the only Frenchman in a lead group

I think it is pretty accurate to say that the polka dot jersey is for the French what the team classification is for the Spanish teams (Movistar). They are the only ones to care about it, but they are still super thrilled to win it each year.

Ah yes, still 1-2 for those poor lucky Slovenian bastards. Heading in final week. ?

Right, the attacking has started, let's see who will finally get non-climber Cosnefroy out of the climber's jersey

Ugh, stupid intermediate sprint screwing a good breakaway attempt.

[Grassmarket 2,753]

Oh look, Ineos riders on the front trying to get into the break.

 

Winner Anacona dooms the break by his presence.

Trentin gets Green Jersey points, is now third overall in that.

 

 

 

Davide Gaudu abandons: has been struggling literally since Day 1 as I recall.
