Alex Baudin (EF Education-EasyPost) consolidated his lead in the Mountains classification by taking a point on the côte de Baleix during stage 5:
“It was a beautiful day. It seemed less hot than yesterday. We almost felt cold! Just kidding.”
“I took a small point at the end; it wasn’t too much of an effort, so I went for it to secure the polka dot jersey with the help of my teammates. Tomorrow, I’ll have to bring out the young climber in me. I hope my legs are good because it’s not going to be easy.”
“It’s really nice to have this jersey. Everyone is shouting my name on the side of the road. I’m really enjoying it. With a flat start, it’s not easy for me but I hope to make it to the breakaway and score points on the climb.”
