Tour de France -- a new jersey

After watching Tyler Hamilton's performance this year, I think Le Tour
should add a new classification -- a red jersey, for the most
courageous rider on the Tour. It would not have to be awarded every
year, but if someone did something extraordinary did way Hamilton did,
it would be awarded in Paris.

This sounds rather silly as it is rather subjective.
Just my $0.02.

ps. If they had this classification this year, my vote would not go to Tyler,
but to Axel Merckx, who ascended the last mountain in one stage knowing he
was all ready outside of the time cut, yet finished anyway.

Ooops! guess I flunk reading comprehension. I read that as _de_cend. my
bad. I'm strait of to the highest place I can find, and walk up it 100
times before hutling myself at the pavement below.

Very excusable if English is not your native language.

There is already the prize for most combative rider. That is a pretty
vague description (usually vague enough to give it to a frenchman).
Hamilton could have gotten that award. Any other award for most
corageous can be given by Journalists, Organizations (like Jan got an
award for sportsmanship from the german olympic committee), or
Newsgroups.
