Most Courageous Jersey

Each day, the most courageous rider will earn Amgen’s Breakaway from Cancer™ jersey.  It will be awarded to a cyclist who best exemplifies the character of those engaged in the fight against cancer.  The jersey will not necessarily be awarded to the fastest or best cyclist of the day, but rather to the rider who best demonstrates courage, sacrifice, inspiration, determination and perseverance.
