15:41 - Kroon And Auge Equal At Top Of Climbing Classification

Two of the riders in today’s escape group - Karsten Kroon and Stephane Auge - both have seven points in the climbing classification. There is one climb yet to come but one thing seems certain, there will be a new rider in the polka-dot jersey for stage seven.

Kroon and Auge both have seven points while Dekker, who led the classification at the start of the stage, has six.

Why they even care about the climbing jersey before the mountain stages begin is beyond me. Tho' I guess it is kind of cool that a sprinter has been wearing it for a few days now...
