On Twitter, during the rest day between 10 am and 5 pm, followers could vote for the most combative rider of the first Tour week.
Prix Antargaz, the organizer of the red back number, nominated Mattia Cattaneo, Simon Geschke, Bob Jungels, Lennard Kämman, Magnus Cort, Anthony Perez, Thibaut Pinot, Tadej Pogacar and Wout van Aert.
Cort came a bit close with 618 votes (retweets), but Wout van Aert also stood head and shoulders above the rest in this referendum (987 votes).
He immediately jumps to the shortlist for the prize of the Super Combatant on the Champs-Elysées in Paris.
There, a jury and the public decide together who can be honored on stage.
