Sprinting Over the Aspin TdF26-40

Having caught, and dropped, the lone attacker Valentin Paret-Peintre (Soudal-Quick Step) and Lenny Martinez (Bahrian-Victorious) sprinted for the ten King of the Mountain points over the summit of the Col d'Aspin. Martinez won the sprint by a tire width. He was hoping to build points towards wearing the Maillot a Pois like he did when the Tour came over this same climb last year. Should he manage to go over the next two climbs in first, he will accomplish that goal. He didn't, but he now sits in third behind the two big names in contemporary cycling, Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard. No shame in trailing those two.
