American Neilson Powless (EF Education-Easypost) will be leading out the Tour de France peloton in the eye-catching polka dot jersey for a fourth straight day tomorrow. The 26-year-old from Northern California spent most of day three in a two-person breakaway with Frenchman Laurent Pichon (Arkea-Samsic) and defended the so-called King of the Mountains or climber's jersey with confidence across four classified climbs.
"It was a successful day. I got some points today; it didn't cost too much, so I'm happy, "he said in the post-race interview.
