"It didn’t cost too much energy" - Neilson Powless strengthens his KOM classification lead
Cycling
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.

- Nonsense Mistermaumau. Tom has noticeably more character and personality than Mathieu. Look at the photograph with this article - when was the last time you saw Mathieu crack a smile like that?RupertBear17-12-2024
- Get over yourself! Tom is fine, he's quite a character in his way - he's got a great sense of humour for a start. Watch him and Matt Stephens do one of their cafe rides, they're both a hoot. I don't mind Mathieu, but he's a bit of a cold fish in case you haven't noticed. You guys make me laugh, you get a unique rider like Tom appears on the scene and all you can do is bitch! By the way Senna, your use of a comma and then the lack of a space between words is usually an indicator of ASD. Now I'm being bitchy!RupertBear17-12-2024

- * not taking anything away from the tireless sacrifices wout has made as a superstar. those are two extraordinary individuals.OCexile16-12-2024
- sadly true. mathieu is the bedrock AD was built on, and he’s always shouldered that role and always seen the bigger picture: took MUCH less money than he could have gotten while the team was growing, and has written them new book on what it means to be a completely selfless superstar, witness every ferocious leadout for jasper and what he did at MSR last year. yup, so far that’s not thomas.OCexile16-12-2024
