Special Incentive: Sneak Peek #12

Here's another very special jersey: Christian Meier's Blue Sprint Jersey from the 2010 Vuelta Ciclista al PaĆ­s Vasco (Tour of the Basque Country). Christian was in a break all day on the first stage and collected enough points to gain the Blue Jersey. For the rest of the race, Garmin-Transitions rode to help him carry his lead to the finish. As Christian wrote on Twitter, "Not sure I will win too many more sprint jerseys in my career, haha."
