SPOILER: Le Tour last night

ok I thought I was up with most of the info on the Tour De France....

but what in the hell is the "Aggressivity Stage" I have a fair idea
based on the name, but how the hell do is work ???

Quoted message said:

The Age website this morning had it listed in the daily standings

Bizarre .. no idea. I've never heard the term before.

Quoted message said:

also, who is Simon Gerrans ??? Are we likely to hear his name again in
cycling ?? Or was it just an all out bust to get some glory on 1
particular stage ?

He won the Warny in 2003 (Will Walker won it last year).

Quoted message said:

Team Mobil-idiots really have no idea do they ??? I take it the team
boss puts on their jerseys in the morning, does up their shoe buckles
and pats them on the bum while pointing them in the right direction to
the start line ?

Did you see the last bit of the stage where they (Vino & Ullrich)
tried to drop Rasmussen? I don't know why they did it there,
Ullrich'll roll past him in the ITT.

Still, they did move Vino up the standings a bit. Odd that they
weren't interested in defending the team place though - maybe
they're saving something for tonight?

Agressitivy stage is the most agressive rider (the one that wears the red number) - it is a judghed category but being instrumental in creating a break and sticking with it will usually get it for you.
