Official: Giulio Ciccone will win the Tour de France KOM jersey if he reaches Paris

After a phenomenal steady work during the 3 weeks of competition, Giulio Ciccone is assured of winning the mountains jersey if he arrives in Paris tomorrow. The Italian rider can no longer be caught by the two rivals who before the start of stage 20 could have chased him down: Felix Gall and Jonas Vingegaard.

He passed the Ballon d'Alsace in the lead and there we saw that no one was going to fight against him: Gall did not get into the fight and Vingegaard, although he was in the lead, neither. So, he needed to pass first the next two passes (second category) and score in the third (third) to mathematically secure the red points jersey and he got it thanks to the great work of his team, the Lidl-Trek, with men like Mads Pedersen at the beginning and Mattias Skjelmose later, had the necessary work to escape and pass first without problems through all the climbs.

Really nice move by Mads Pedersen, sprinting a bit to secure points ahead of Vingegaard, in favour of Ciccone. #TDF2023
