Tour Tidbit du Jour - 7/4/2017

There are only three Americans in the Tour this year and they are all on the Cannondale-Drapac team: Andrew Talansky, Taylor Phinney, and Nate Brown. Two of them, Taylor Phinney and Nate Brown, have already worn the polka-dot King of the Mountain jersey during the first few stages. Only two other Americans have ever worn the polka-dot jersey: Tejay van Garderen and Greg Lemond.

We didn't just #RockTheDots; we made @letourdefrance history. First time two Americans have worn polka dots in the same Tour. All images from the amazing @ashleygruber + @jeredgruber.
