Final Tour de France 2023 KOM Classification | Giulio Ciccone saves KOM jersey against GC riders' assault
CyclingSunday, 23 July 2023 at 21:02
Giulio Ciccone was the winner of the Tour de France's KOM classification. Scoring the most points in the climbs throughout the three weeks, one of the few riders who had clear ambitions beat the GC riders with a combination of smart tactics and great climbing legs.
The win was not without a big challenge. A few riders chased points in the first half of the race, Neilson Powless took the KOM jersey in the first day and then kept chasing points with several breakaways, eventually holding the jersey until stage 13 - with the exception of stage 5 where Felix Gall briefly wore the polka dots after his breakaway features. Stage 14 saw Jonas Vingegaard take over the lead of the classification, being the reigning champion of 2022.
However Ciccone, who truly focused on that classification, took over on stage 15. The final week saw him fight for all points available, which then saw him struggle on the final climbs of the day where both Felix Gall and Jonas Vingegaard would win points. However the Italian managed to score enough points to maintain his lead in the front of the competition, achieving one of his pre-race goals.
Tour de France 2023 final KOM classification:
1 - Giulio Ciccone with 106 points
2 - Felix Gall with 92 points
3 - Jonas Vingegaard with 89 points
4 - Neilson Powless with 58 points
5 - Tadej Pogacar with 55 points
6 - Simon Yates with 44 points
7 - Tobias Johanessen with 38 points
8 - Jai Hindley with 31 points
9 - Michal Kwiaktowski with 30 points
10 - Mattias Skjelmose with 29 points

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib.
