Tour: Sylvain Chavanel most combative rider
A jury called our French rider Sylvain Chavanel as most combative rider of this 97th Tour de France. Chavanel was in several breakaways and won the second and seventh stage in this Tour after a long breakaway. Besides that he wore the yellow jersey two days. His attractive way of racing brought him an extra price. Chavanel takes over the price of last year`s winner Franco Pellizotti, in 2008 Chavanel won also the price as most combative rider.
