Today was the first road stage of the Tour, and the first day where King of the Mountain points were available out on course. Magnus Cort (EF Education-EasyPost) and Sven Erik Bystrom (Intermache-Wanty Gobert-Materiaux) had dropped their two break away companions on the first climb. Cort had taken the first sprint at the top of Cote d'Ashnaes Indelukke. If he out sprints Bystrom at the top of this climb of the Cote d'Hove Straede, he will take the lead in the KOM competition. Spoiler, he make it to the top first (and on the final climb of the day as well), making him the first wearer of the Maillot a Pois. And the first Dane to wear a leader's jersey as the Tour races through Denmark. Bystrom did come away with the most combative award for his efforts.
