The Latest: Teklehaimanot fighting for polka-dot jersey (The Associated Press)
Eritrean rider Daniel Teklehaimanot has scored his first points in the battle for the King of the Mountains crown. Teklehaimanot won the sprint at the top of the Cote de Pourville-sur-Mer after securing his first point at the Cote de Dieppe to move level with Spaniard Joaquim Rodriguez, who is currently wearing the best climber’s polka-dot jersey. Teklehaimanot, who won the mountain classification at the Criterium du Dauphine, has already made history at the Tour as the first rider from Eritrea to compete in the three-week race when he launched the opening time trial off in the streets of Utrecht last weekend.
