To clarify this title, the leader of the King of the Mountains competition in the Dauphine wears a red jersey with white polka dots (the reverse of the Tour de France). So the five man break knows that one of their group will win the right to wear the jersey at the end of the stage. Today, it was Kevin Reza (Europcar) had the legs to summit the first five climbs of the day first. Each time he was followed over the top by Thomas Damuseau (Giant Shimano). Damuseau did have an advantage of knowing these roads, the peloton road past his house at 37 kilometers into the stage..
