Tour De France: Mountains Jersey

I have to say this competition never is a very close one.  Usually some guy who is a reasonable climber gets his grip on this in a long breakaway and never let's it go.  That's what happened this year, and what I've seen happen almost every year.  The French may never win the overall at the Tour, but I've seen a Frenchman win the Polka Dot Jersey quite a few times.  I would not be surprised to never hear from Anthony Charteau again, but I bet you next year he'll come into the Tour looking to repeat as the Mountains Jersey winner.
