CyclingTuesday, 04 July 2023 at 01:00
Polka dot jersey wearer Neilson Powless had another successful 'day in the office' as the 26-year old added yet another seven points to his KOM tally. The EF Education-EasyPost riders shared for Tour de France website that he's still feeling fresh and strong after two days ahead of the peloton.
"It has been a successful day. I got to score some KOM points today and it didn’t cost too much energy, so I’m happy. We definitely have the focus on the Pyrenees, both for the KOM jersey and to get a stage win. Several teammates of mine have been resting up these days, so hopefully we will be able to pull something off."
"I felt very good today. Everything is going in good direction. I’ll have one day to relax tomorrow that will help get me ready for the Pyrenees," Powless concludes.

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
