Magnus Korto (EF Education-EasyPost) has made his mark on the 2022 Tour de France. On Tuesday, Colt earned another honor in the 171.5km stage from Dunkerque to Calais. He broke the record for the most consecutive mountain sprint victories, set 64 years ago by Federico Bahamontes, with nine.

Colt won the polka-dot jersey for the third day in a row after a breakaway on a road stage, over 400 km away from the front of the peloton in the 569.2 km of racing so far.

"I feel really good," Colt said of his time in the mountains jersey. "I was going for five points in the morning. It was a perfect day for me."

After the opening time trial, Colt attacked from the 0km mark on stage 2 and broke away with Cyril Barthe and Pierre Rolland (B&B Hotels-KTM) and Sven-Eric Bystrom (Intermarché Wanty-Gaubert Materieux). They were joined by two Frenchmen on the first climb. They dropped the two Frenchmen on the first climb, with Cort leading the Côte d'Asnæs Indelukke. Inspired, Cort took the lead again on Côte d'Hove Strade and Côte d'Colep Strandbæk. Knowing he would wear the polka-dot jersey, he celebrated with his hands in the air to the cheers of his many fans along the streets of his home country.

After an intermediate sprint, Colt finished the race more than 140 km from the front. Then on stage 3, Colt was once again in solo form from the drop of the flag, and the peloton gave him a day in the sun before chasing him down for a group sprint.

Cort passed through Côte de Koldingvej, Côte de Hailesminde, and Côte de Genelstrand for another 129 km. After moving from Denmark to northern France, the Danes went on the attack again with Anthony Perez (Cofidis).

The Frenchman put up little resistance on the Côte de Cassel, and on the Côte de Rémilly-Wilcan, Côte broke his record of eight consecutive KOM wins. He also won the Courts of Niels-lès-Brecan, Hallett, and Ventus, extending his record to 11.

All the climbs were category 4, the lowest class, and deserved only one point each, but they secured the Côte's lead in the mountains for at least two more stages. Wednesday's fifth stage, from Lille to Arenberg, has cobblestones used in Paris-Roubaix, but no climbs as the road remains flat. Stage 6, Binche to Longwy, has three climbs, two category 3 (two points for second place and one for first) and one category 4, for a total of only five points.

Stage 7 is uphill again, with two Category 3 climbs before the first summit showdown at La Super Planche des Belle Filles. The final climb is a Category 1, with 10 points awarded to the winner. From the Dôle to Lausanne, there are two Category 3 and two Category 4 climbs, for a total of four.

Stage 9 is the first mountain stage. After the Swiss start in Aigle, there are four climbs, two each of Category 4, Category 2, and Category 1.

Colt vowed to enjoy every day, although he doesn't know how long he will be able to wear the polka-dot jersey.

"Eleven climbs in a row and only eleven points, not even enough points to defend on the HC climb. Once we get into the real mountains and get more points, unfortunately the jersey will change."

"I know I have to give up the jersey. I'm not going to dig a grave to keep the jersey. I'm also aiming for a stage win. These days I use more energy going into the break than usual, so I need to moderate my energy a little bit more."

"Right now I have enough points to last me a few more days. I want to enjoy those days as well. It's possible we could keep quite a few days, but it will depend on who gets the points."
