Stage 10: 237 km Limoges to Saint-Flour
Today is the first stage of the rest of your life.
Stage 10 brings the Tour's first 1st-category climb and 8 compatriots:
1 - 1st category
2 - 2nd category
5 - 3rd category
1 - 4th category
It's also Bastille Day, so expect a little extra motivation from the French riders.
Starting Stage 10, it's:
Thomas Voeckler (Brioches la Boulangere)
Robbie McEwen (Lotto-Domo)
Paolo Bettini (Quick Step-Davitamon)
Thomas Voeckler (worn by Sandy Casar - Fdjeux.com)
Inigo Landaluze has never won a professional race, but he'll wear the red race numbers of the day's most aggressive rider for the 80-mile breakaway he and Simeoni almost pulled off yesterday.

Comments
is the "competitive rider" award with the red letters based on any concrete riding skills/checkpoints? or is it totally up to the judges to just see who they think is the most competitive rider. for instance, why did they choose landaluze instead of simeoni?
