I'm sorry, I couldn't resist the title. As they neared the base of the final climb of the day, the Cote de Bouciou le Roi it was the Maillot a Pois accompanied by both the French and Italian National Champions. I loved the symmetry of seeing the two tricolores of Celia Gery (FDJ United-Suez) and Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team L'IMAD) joining up with the polka dots of the Queen of the Mountains, Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Premier Tech). The trio had a couple of other women with them a good thirteen seconds ahead of what was left of the peloton containing the race leaders. The champions were after the stage victory, whereas Pieterse was after the last QOM points on the final climg of the day. At this point, they were happy to work together to achieve different goals.
