The 2010 CFL Draft took place on Sunday, May 2, 2010 at 12:00 PM ET on TSN. 47 players were chosen from among eligible players from Canadian universities across the country, as well as Canadian players playing in the NCAA. After a number of trades, including ones made on draft day, Toronto and BC wound up with the most picks with nine apiece. The defending Grey Cup champions, the Montreal Alouettes, had seven, while the Calgary Stampeders had six. The Edmonton Eskimos, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Saskatchewan Roughriders each had four. Of the 47 draft selections, 36 players were drafted from Canadian Interuniversity Sport institutions.


2010 CFL Draft
The Saskatchewan Roughriders also had the option to increase their number of draft picks as part of the three-way trade that was completed with Winnipeg and Hamilton in April, 2009. The Roughriders could have either swapped first round picks with Winnipeg in this year's draft or in the 2011 CFL Draft, or receive two second round picks in 2011 and 2012. This was done due to the uncertainty of the Stefan LeFors trade where the traded draft pick to Edmonton was conditional upon Lefors' performance. It was then confirmed that the Roughriders had chosen to swap first round picks with the Blue Bombers in this year's draft.

The 2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300 was an IndyCar motor race held in front of approximately 14,000 people on October 2, 2010, at the Homestead–Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. It was the 17th and final round of the 2010 IndyCar Series, the final annual edition of the event in the IndyCar Series, and the 15th anniversary of the running of the race (including five years in the Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) schedule).

He led the first 42 laps until Ryan Briscoe passed him on lap 43 but retook the position on the next lap. Franchitti led for a total of 128 laps, more than any other driver. He later opted to drive conservatively after his championship rival Will Power crashed in an unsuccessful attempt to lap Ryan Hunter-Reay on the 135th lap.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300
Dixon took the lead on lap 152, and led a total of 47 laps en route to his third victory of the season — the 24th of his career. Patrick, one of five women drivers competing in the event, held off her teammate Kanaan in the final five laps to finish second by 0.0011 seconds.

There were five cautions and an event record-breaking 18 lead changes among seven drivers during the race.

Power's non-finish put him five points behind Franchitti in second place, while Dixon overtook Hélio Castroneves for third, and Briscoe finished the season in fifth place.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Background
The Cafés do Brasil Indy 300 was confirmed as part of the Indy Racing League's (IRL) 2010 schedule for the IndyCar Series in July 2009. It was the tenth consecutive year the race was held in the series, and the 15th running of the Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, counting the period from 1996 to 2000 when it was a Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) event. The Cafés do Brasil Indy 300 was the 17th (and final) race scheduled for 2010 by the IRL, and was held on October 2, 2010, in Homestead, Florida, at Homestead–Miami Speedway. It was the second round held in Florida, following the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in March. Tire supplier Firestone brought three types of tire to the race: two dry compounds (black-sidewall "Primary" and red-banded "Alternate") and grooved rain tires.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Background
At this late stage of the season, Team Penske driver Will Power was the points leader with 587 points, with Dario Franchitti 12 points behind in second. Hélio Castroneves was third with 501 points; Scott Dixon was fourth, and Ryan Briscoe was fifth. 53 points were available for the season's final round which meant Franchitti could win the championship. In the event the two drivers were tied on points, Power would be the champion having won five races to Franchitti's three. Franchitti needed to score 13 more points than Power to win the title.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Background
After finishing third at the previous round in Motegi, Japan, Power said he was confident he could approach the final race more aggressively and believed it was the first time in his career he had the necessary equipment to win races, and was in a position to do so on oval tracks. Franchitti, who was familiar with Homestead-Miami Speedway, revealed he would not alter his plan and went to the track to win the race; he acknowledged that eliminating the 13-point deficit would not be easy.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Background
He also noted the high number of entries for the race had the potential to affect the championship battle, "I think the other guys on the track, they've got their own reasons. They're trying to win the race the same as any other race. And as long as I think they race with the same respect that they have all season, then I think we'll be OK. There's a couple of cars that I think really ... certainly one that's difficult enough to run a consistent lane. So I don't think you can expect much more."


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Background
On September 8, IndyCar Chief Executive Officer Randy Bernard announced via e-mail that Homestead–Miami Speedway would not hold a race in 2011. While he praised the track, the objectives of the track's owners and the series were "not aligned", and the IRL elected to omit Homestead-Miami Speedway from its calendar. The Miami Herald reported the track appeared to suffer management-wise because it was owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation which had three other circuits expected for removal from the 2011 season.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Background
Homestead–Miami Speedway's president Matthew Becherer said that he wanted the IndyCar race to remain, but could not do so after the series raised the event's sanctioning fee by 30 percent. Bernard said while the series was receptive to returning to the track in the future, he blamed the organizers for failing to promote IndyCar.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Background
There were two driver changes for the race. Dreyer & Reinbold Racing announced eight days beforehand that Ana Beatriz would fill in for regular driver Mike Conway in the team's No. 24 car. Conway had been able to return to full fitness following a major accident in the Indianapolis 500 in May but chose not to compete at Homestead–Miami Speedway because he wanted to regain his strength and focus on the 2011 season. It was Beatriz's fourth race of the season having previously taken part in the rounds at São Paulo, Indianapolis and Chicago.

She was one of five women to compete in the event along with Danica Patrick, Sarah Fisher, Simona de Silvestro and Milka Duno. Conquest Racing employed Indy Lights driver and Formula BMW race winner Sebastián Saavedra to drive their No. 36 car, becoming the sixth person to race for the team in 2010.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Practice and qualifying
Two practice sessions were held on Saturday before the race; the first ran for 60 minutes and the second 30 minutes. Power was fastest in the first practice session with a lap of 25.0824 seconds; Dixon, Briscoe, Franchitti, Castroneves, Dan Wheldon, Marco Andretti, Alex Tagliani, Vítor Meira and Tony Kanaan made up positions two to ten. A caution flag was shown late in the session for a track inspection.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Practice and qualifying
Two hours and 15 minutes after the first practice session ended, the 27 drivers determined the starting grid through qualifying. Each driver ran two laps, with both attempts added together to form a combined two-lap effort from each participant. The starting order was determined by the competitors' fastest lap times. The driver who won the pole position earned one point towards the drivers' standings. Franchitti clinched his second pole position of the season and the 13th of his career with a two-lap effort of 50.1532 seconds. He was joined on the grid's front row by Dixon.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Practice and qualifying
Power, who held the pole position for most of qualifying until Franchitti's lap, was third, his teammate Briscoe took fourth and Wheldon fifth.

Viso, Mario Moraes, Bertrand Baguette, Beatriz, Andretti, Fisher, Graham Rahal, Tagliani, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Vítor Meira, Alex Lloyd, Raphael Matos, Saavedra, de Silvestro, Hideki Mutoh, and Duno.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Practice and qualifying
After qualifying, Franchitti said, "I don’t know what (crew chief) Chris Simmons did to the Target car between practice and now, but that thing was beautifully balanced. (After the first timed lap) it felt like a good lap, and I looked down and saw 213 and said: 'Oh, nice. Let’s see if we can not screw up the second lap.' I felt it; I was able to take the line I wanted. Now I can relax a little."


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Practice and qualifying
The second practice was held at night and Briscoe led with a lap of 25.3160 seconds. His Penske Racing teammate Castroneves was 0.0794 seconds slower in second place; Matos improved on his qualifying performance to finish third. Franchitti was fourth; Wheldon replicated his qualifying result in fifth position. The top ten was rounded out by Patrick, Power, Dixon, Tagliani, and Andretti.

The race began at 19:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+04:00), and was televised live on Versus. Approximately 14,000 spectators were in attendance. The weather at the start was clear and mild. The ambient temperature ranged between 80 to 87 °F (27 to 31 °C) and the track temperature was 85 to 89 °F (29 to 32 °C). The command to start engines was given by Castroneves and Kanaan in the pit lane. When the race commenced from its rolling start, Franchitti maintained his pole position advantage going into the first turn.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
His teammate Dixon tucked into his teammate's slipstream; the two could not break away from the rest of the field. Castroneves moved from tenth to fifth by the start of lap ten, while his fellow Brazilian Kanaan gained three positions to run in third as Power fell back. Franchitti encountered slower traffic as Kanaan overtook Dixon for second. The first caution was necessitated on the 36th lap; Moraes stopped with a mechanical fault in an unsafe section of the track in turn two. During the caution, several drivers, elected to make their first pit stops.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
Power reported steering problems, which were rectified in his pit box. Kanaan's vehicle appeared to stutter exiting his pit box; he avoided stalling as he swerved to avoid hitting a car that stopped ahead of him. The delay dropped him to fifth. Franchitti kept his lead at the restart on lap 42, followed by Briscoe in second place. On the following lap, Franchitti maintained his position on the left as Briscoe used his push-to-pass system to overtake him for the lead.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
Briscoe lost the position to Franchitti on lap 44; he kept it until Briscoe passed him again to reclaim first place. The event's second caution was waved on the 45th lap for an accident at turn four. Beatriz exited the pit lane late and slowed on the low part of the apron to allow the field through. Doing this prompted some drivers such as Patrick to scramble for space to avoid striking her car. As the field passed her, she accelerated up the bumpy asphalt surface, losing downforce and traction at the rear of her car. That caused Beatriz to collide with the outside wall at turn four. Her damaged car drifted down the track, and below the white line denoting the circuit's boundaries.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
Most of the field, except for de Silvestro, Tagliani, Wilson, Mutoh, and Fisher, remained on the track during the caution. Franchitti again led at the restart on lap 52, with Briscoe in second. Briscoe and Franchitti clashed wheels in a battle for the lead that they exchanged all round the circuit. At this point, Kanaan was the fastest driver, overtaking Dixon and Castroneves to move to third position. He was soon in a three-way battle for first with Franchitti and Briscoe.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
Franchitti slowed slightly on lap 58 because his tires were possibly strained from maintaining a tight line on the right, allowing Briscoe into the lead. Two laps later, Kanaan and Dixon got ahead of Franchitti as he lost momentum and clear air from his earlier battle with Briscoe. Further down the order, Power overhauled Patrick in a battle for seventh position, and he later passed Wheldon to for sixth. Dixon passed Kanaan and Briscoe on the 62nd lap to take the lead. Seven laps later, Kanaan passed Dixon for the lead. Franchitti returned to full speed, overtaking Briscoe and Dixon for second. He then passed Kanaan on the left to reclaim the lead on lap 73.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
Franchitti increased his advantage to half a second as his car's handling seemed to come back in his favor. During this period, Power moved to fourth place. Wheldon and Briscoe made green flag pit stops for fuel and tires on lap 90. Franchitti, Kanaan and Power made their stops six laps later. In the meantime, the fuel hose on Viso's car was observed landing in the infield grass. No caution was needed since it was retrieved without trouble. After the pit stops, Franchitti returned to the lead, closely followed by Kanaan, Dixon, Power, Briscoe, and Castroneves.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
Franchitti held off Kanaan to earn two additional points for leading the most laps of any driver at the completion of lap 118. This meant Franchitti now had to win, and for Power to place fourth, to give him the Drivers' Championship. Lap 135 saw the third caution: Power slid into a right-hand side barrier leaving turn four after a failed attempt to lap Hunter-Reay's slower car to his right. His rear-right suspension wishbone bent, and he spent a few laps driving slowly, before entering pit road; he had difficulty lining up correctly in his pit box.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
Power's mechanics instructed him to switch off the engine, and he was taken behind the pit wall for five minutes and six seconds, losing five laps to Franchitti. This now required Franchitti to finish at least tenth to win the Drivers' Championship as he elected to conserve fuel. Kanaan's fuel hose was still attached to his car when he left his pit stall, striking some members of his pit crew. He incurred a drive-through penalty that he took on lap 141; it dropped him to the back of the lead lap.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
One of the sidelights informing drivers when the pit lane was open required attention as Meira, Patrick and Kanaan made fuel stops to attempt to manage their usage over the last 50 laps. Racing resumed on lap 151 with Franchitti leading Dixon and Andretti. Dixon took the lead on lap 152 and was later challenged by Andretti to his right. When Andretti failed, he steered left, and passed Dixon for first on lap 158. Franchitti dropped to fourth when the fourth caution came out on lap 166 after an endplate from an unidentified car was located on the circuit.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
The caution provided some teams with an opportunity to make a final pit stop to allow their drivers to finish the race. On the next lap, Chip Ganassi Racing elected to alter their strategy. They asked Franchitti to enter the pit lane for fuel and tires, while Dixon stayed on the track.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
Dixon, Castroneves, Kanaan, Patrick, Wheldon and Meira chose not to make another pit stop and Dixon led at the lap-172 restart. However, the restart was delayed twice to lap 174 because of consecutive false starts. Lap 176 saw the fifth (and final) caution: Duno spun up the track and into a barrier. This caused Franchitti to slow to narrowly avoid ramming into her car; he fell to ninth. The green flag was waved on lap 183.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
Dixon pulled away, while Castroneves could not match the speed of the two Andretti Autosport cars of Kanaan and the aggressive Patrick, and fell to fourth. Dixon, unhindered, took his third victory of the season and the 24th of his career. Patrick was faster than her teammate Kanaan leaving turn two, and she took second by 0.0011 seconds. Briscoe, Castroneves, Meira and Andretti were fourth to seventh. Franchitti finished eighth to win his third Drivers' Championship and the fourth for Chip Ganassi Racing. Wheldon and Rahal rounded out the top ten.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race
Hunter-Reay took 11th, and Lloyd won the Rookie of the Year award by finishing 12th. The final finishers were Carpenter, Tagliani, Baugette, Saavedra, Matos, Sato, Viso, Mutoh, Wilson, Fisher, and de Silvestro. There was an event-record eighteen lead changes amongst seven drivers. Franchitti's 128 laps led was the most of any driver. His teammate Dixon led five times for a total of 47 laps.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race, Post-race
Dixon appeared in victory lane to celebrate his third win of the season in front of the crowd; the win earned him $272,500. He said of his victory, "This is exactly what we needed to end the season. We could see early on that Will [Power] was struggling and we set our strategy up after that. We were close on fuel until that last yellow, but we had the speed all night. It was a great race for the entire team, and I'm happy for Chip [Ganassi], Dario [Franchitti] and the entire organization."


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race, Post-race
Patrick spoke of her feeling that finishing second was like a win to her, "This was a great way to end the season. We have had our high points and low points and the GoDaddy crew pulled it together for a strong end to the year. Hopefully we can continue to improve the car to be better for next year." Third-placed Kanaan said he did not observe Patrick in his rear-view mirrors. Nevertheless, he was happy with his performance notwithstanding a drive-through penalty. "Putting on a good show was the least we could do for the fans here tonight. I have to thank my crew. We had a moment there, but when we have a good car, it makes my life a whole lot easier. It was a good weekend as a team. I'm looking forward to next year."

Afterward, Franchitti began celebrating the third IndyCar Drivers' Championship of his career. During the celebrations, he said of his success: "Look back to the start of 2007, I hadn’t won a championship. Won a lot of races, not a championship or Indy 500. Now we find ourselves with two 500s and three championships. I’m just going to enjoy it. I think I’m just going to let it sink in, enjoy it. And if you ask me that question maybe starting next year I’ll give you a better answer. But I’m very proud of the achievement.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race, Post-race
And it’s an absolute honor to get to drive for the Target team. And the equipment they give me. And that feeling of success is great." Power said while he was disappointed not to win the championship, he wanted to come back stronger for the 2011 season after he had not won his first race on an oval track and lost a potential victory at Chicagoland due to a malfunctioning fuel hose. "Like I predicted at the beginning of the season, it was the guy and the team who made the least amount of mistakes that won the championship. But next year I'll come back really strong." Franchitti congratulated Power for the competition he provided and Patrick applauded the Australian.


2010 Cafés do Brasil Indy 300, Race, Post-race
Because he finished eighth, Franchitti won the Drivers' Championship by five points over Power in second position. With 547 points, Dixon's victory secured him third while Castroneves' fifth-place result dropped him to fourth position with 531 points. Briscoe ended the year in fifth position with 482 points after finishing fourth in the event.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season
The 2010 season for the Caisse d'Epargne cycling team began in January with the Tour Down Under and ended in October at the Giro di Lombardia. As a UCI ProTour team, they were automatically invited and obliged to attend every event in the ProTour. The team's manager was Eusebio Unzue, who had led it since the Banesto days.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season
Though an offseason attempt to sign reigning Tour de France champion Alberto Contador was ultimately unsuccessful, the team added noteworthy riders for the 2010 season, including former Tour de France King of the Mountains Mauricio Soler and Marzio Bruseghin, who finished in the top ten in three Grand Tours over the previous two seasons.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season
The French banking group Caisse d'Epargne departed sponsorship after the 2010 season, preferring to sponsor the French Olympic teams. Spanish telecommunications company Telefónica, S.A. has stepped in to sponsor the team from 2011, giving the team the name of one its brands as it races as Team Movistar in 2011.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season
After lengthy legal proceedings, the team's top rider Alejandro Valverde was given a global two-year ban on May 31, backdated to January 1. Since he was, in essence, banned for all of the 2010 season, the results he obtained before the Court of Arbitration for Sport's decision came down were vacated and awarded to previously second-placed riders.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Stage races
The team's first race of the season was the Tour Down Under. They were noted to be sending a strong squad, including Valverde and former Tour Down Under champion Sánchez, who viewed the race as an important part of a 2010 race program meant to lead to victory in Paris–Nice. Valverde had a chance at victory in the undulating third stage of the race, holding the wheel of world champion Cadel Evans in a select leading group. A moment of hesitation when he was unsure if Evans was attacking for victory let Footon–Servetto–Fuji's Manuel Cardoso escape for the win.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Stage races
Two days later, the team got their first win of the season with Sánchez, as he, along with Valverde, Evans, and Peter Sagan formed a winning breakaway on the Old Willunga Hill Road that almost won sufficient time over race leader André Greipel to give Sánchez the overall lead. Sánchez finished the race the next day in second place overall. In February, Valverde won the Tour Méditerranéen overall without winning a stage, by virtue of his time gap over previous race leader Jussi Veikkanen on the final day's stage to Mont Faron. Later in the month, Sánchez won the individual time trial which closed out the Volta ao Algarve, finishing that event second overall.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
Caisse d'Epargne was one of 22 teams in the Giro d'Italia. The team was not competitive in the opening to the Giro in the Netherlands. They did not have riders contesting the finishes to either of the first two road race stages, and their best-placed rider in the overall standings before the transfer to Italy was Arroyo in 38th.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
Several team members were brought down in a big crash, which also claimed then-race leader Cadel Evans among its victims, in stage 3. Bruseghin, an outside favorite for overall success in the Giro, was thus put over eight minutes off the leading pace. The team's fortunes changed little in the stage 4 team time trial. They came in 18th, 2'21" off the pace of stage winners Liquigas–Doimo. In stage 6, a two-man breakaway survived to the finish of the stage. A depleted group sprint at the head of the peloton then fought for the remaining placings a minute behind the winner. Kiryienka took eighth in this stage.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
Stage 7 was one of the major days in the Giro. The course was long and incorporated unpaved roads. The day on which the stage was run happened to have heavy rainfall, making for muddy riding in the unpaved sectors. After then-race leader Vincenzo Nibali sustained a mechanical issue which necessitated a bike change, Arroyo was one of a handful of riders to follow a timely attack from Alexander Vinokourov. Arroyo could not stay with the leaders (Vinokourov, Evans, and Damiano Cunego) but took fifth on the stage 12 seconds back of Evans.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
The result moved him up 11 places in the overall standings, from 25th to 14th. The Giro's 11th stage was another big one. An enormous breakaway group formed in this stage, near 50 riders at its most populous. Arroyo, Kiryienka, Amador, and Losada all made this selection. With Arroyo in 11th place in the overall standings, the other three worked hard to try to drive the break to its biggest advantage. Arroyo took eighth on the stage, 7 seconds back of the stage winner, as he did not contest the sprint for the stage win. His 13-minute time gap over the peloton moved him up to second in the overall standings.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
Arroyo was a far stronger climber than Richie Porte, the man who had taken the race leadership on this stage. In the Giro's next mountain stage, stage 14 to Asolo incorporating Monte Grappa, Arroyo finished only 12th, over two minutes behind stage winner Vincenzo Nibali, but took the pink jersey as Porte was a further two minutes back in 24th. This was the first time the team, then known as Banesto, had held the pink jersey since Miguel Indurain won the race overall in 1993.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
In stage 15, the Monte Zoncolan stage, Arroyo finished nearly four minutes behind stage winner Ivan Basso, but he still retained the pink jersey because of how much time he had in hand to the race's overall favorites. Arroyo was another two minutes off the winning time in the climbing time trial to Plan de Corones in the next stage, but still held more than two minutes' advantage over Basso in second place after the stage.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
The next two stages were flat and won by breakaways and sprinters, meaning they did not alter the overall standings. Arroyo was in the pink jersey with two minutes on Basso and three stages left to race, and was at this point entertaining the idea that he could win the Giro. In stage 19, Basso, his teammate Nibali, and Michele Scarponi easily dropped Arroyo on the climb of the Passo del Mortirolo. Basso then rode the descent very conservatively, with the other two needing to wait for him several times.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
Arroyo rode a very aggressive descent, and caught Carlos Sastre, John Gadret, Evans, and Vinokourov, who had been between him and the leading Italian trio. The five coalesced into a chase group on the day's final climb, to Aprica. Despite having only a few seconds' advantage at the start of a relatively easy climb, Basso's group gained time all throughout the climb and finished sufficiently ahead of Arroyo's to put the pink jersey on him. Arroyo stayed with Basso on the descent of the Passo di Gavia the next day instead of trying to regain the jersey.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Giro d'Italia
Though he conceded a little time in both the Passo del Tonale climb in stage 20 and the individual time trial in stage 21, Arroyo held on for second overall between Basso and Nibali. The squad finished third in the Trofeo Fast Team standings and 17th in the Trofeo Super Team.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
Sánchez led the team's squad at the Tour de France, along with newly crowned Spanish road race champion Gutiérrez. Absent from the race were the newly suspended Valverde and Soler, who had planned to start but withdrew due to a knee injury sustained in the Critérium du Dauphiné.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
Rojas was in line to contest the sprint finish to stage 1, but he was caught behind in the massive crash that took place in the peloton just meters from the finish line, taking seventh on the day, two second behind the five riders who were able to steer clear of the crash and finish together. Stage 4 also ended with a sprint. Rojas was able to contest this one, but finished only seventh. He also finished in the top ten in stages 5 and 6, the latter of which involved Perget earning the day's combativity award. Perget again showed combativity in stage 7, finishing fifth in a three-man group that crossed the line 7 seconds ahead of the main peloton. Plaza was ninth in this stage.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
After the first rest day, Caisse d'Epargne placed two riders in the top four of stage 9. Sánchez and Moreau were part of the day's breakaway, and stayed away (though they were joined by overall favorites Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck, who did not contest the finish). These results put the squad in first place in the teams classification, by a margin of 31 seconds over Team RadioShack and 35 seconds over Astana.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
Sánchez lost out on the stage win when Sandy Casar took an aggressive final turn to the finish line, which was situated just after a hairpin left turn. Sánchez did, however, gain the day's combativity award and move up to 8th overall. Astana rode in support of Contador's bid for a third Tour title and Team RadioShack had no overall contender (due to Lance Armstrong falling well out of contention after stage 8). Thus, the American team contested the team award with Caisse d'Epargne for the remainder of the race, making sure to mark one another in breakaways.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
The very next day, the teams supplied the two riders who contested the stage finish, with Team RadioShack's Sérgio Paulinho beating Kiryienka after Kiryienka rode the stage's concluding kilometer in an unstrategic fashion. Rojas took fourth in the sprint finish to stage 11, and fifth on stage 13 (though this sprint was for second place as Alexander Vinokourov won the day with a solo move).


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
After having lost the team award for two days, they took it back after stage 14 when their top three riders finished 14th, 15th, and 16th to Team RadioShack's 11th, 17th, and 22nd, giving Caisse d'Epargne an eight-second lead. The next day, however, they lost the lead for good on a difficult mountain stage where Sánchez also dropped out of the top ten following a distant 30th-place finish, five minutes behind the stage winner and three minutes behind the race's top riders.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Tour de France
The team did their best to remain combative, placing two riders in the breakaway in stage 16 to match RadioShack's representation, but the four-minute gap that faced them at that point was too much to overcome. Ultimately, the team left the Tour without any victories. They finished second to RadioShack in the teams classification, by a margin of nine minutes and 15 seconds. Sánchez was their highest-placed individual rider, in 11th place at a deficit of 14 minutes and 21 seconds to Tour champion Contador.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Vuelta a España
Caisse d'Epargne came to the Vuelta a España with a squad composed of several riders who could conceivably lead it. Unzue stated that he was confident about his team's chances to secure a podium place in the race, and commented that Arroyo, Sánchez, Bruseghin, Plaza, or Urán could all potentially emerge as the squad's leader and protected rider.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Vuelta a España
The squad struggled in the stage 1 team time trial. Despite the presence of Spanish national time trial champion Sánchez, they could manage only 11th place, finishing with seven riders 25 seconds off Team HTC–Columbia's winning time. Plaza and Urán both finished near the front of the race in the hilly stage 4, with Plaza 12 seconds back of stage winner Igor Antón for ninth and Urán 19 back in tenth. This result moved Plaza into ninth overall. The overall standings mostly stayed the same until stage 8, the next mountain stage. While the stage victory went to David Moncoutié, a member of the morning breakaway, Bruseghin, Plaza, and Urán all finished near the top riders in the race. The result moved Plaza up to fifth overall and Bruseghin into the top ten, at eighth.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Vuelta a España
In stage 9, López made the morning breakaway and stayed with the front group through course's seven categorized climbs. He rode away from the last four who remained with him on the stage-concluding Alto de Revolcat and arrived in Alcoy six seconds ahead of Roman Kreuziger for the stage win. Omega Pharma–Lotto's Jean-Christophe Péraud had also made this escape and, being relatively highly placed at the beginning of the day, moved into fifth overall at the end of the day, knocking Plaza and Bruseghin down a place each to sixth and ninth respectively.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Vuelta a España
The team got another win the next day from a breakaway. Erviti made the morning escape, and then soloed to victory by taking an aggressive descent down the Alto de Rat Penat, winning by 37 seconds over Cofidis' Romain Zingle. Stage 11 was another important stage for the overall standings, ending with a steep climb to Vallnord in Andorra. Antón won the stage, and Bruseghin, Urán, and Plaza finished in the top eleven on the day to occupy sixth through eighth in the new overall standings, giving the team many options going forward.


2010 Caisse d'Epargne season, Grand Tours, Vuelta a España
All three, however, had bad days in stage 14, the next mountain stage. Plaza was 23rd, Urán 35th, and Bruseghin 99th, with only Plaza remaining in the top ten of the overall standings after the stage. Sánchez rode better, 17th on the day, to move up to 13th overall. Plaza faltered badly in the next stage, dropping six minutes to the race's elite riders on the Lagos de Covadonga climb, leaving Sánchez, now in 15th, as the team's best rider. Sánchez cracked the top ten after the individual time trial in Peñafiel in stage 17. He took fifth on the stage, and occupied tenth overall afterwards. He maintained that position through the conclusion of the race, as the team did not again come close to getting any victories. The squad finished second in the teams classification, 33 seconds behind Team Katusha.

2010 Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council election
The 2010 Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on 6 May 2010 to elect members of Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council in England. This was on the same day as other local elections and a general election. One councillor was elected in each ward for a four-year term so the councillors elected in 2010 last stood for election in 2006. Each ward is represented by three councillors, the election of which is staggered, so only one third of the councillors was elected in this election. After the election the council stayed in no overall control but the Conservative minority administration was replaced with a coalition between Labour and the Liberal Democrats.

2010 California Attorney General election
The 2010 California Attorney General election was held on November 2, 2010, to choose the Attorney General of California. The primary election was held on June 8, 2010. Incumbent Attorney General Jerry Brown, a Democrat, was elected Governor of California.


2010 California Attorney General election
The two major candidates were district attorneys from Los Angeles County and San Francisco, Republican Steve Cooley and Democrat Kamala Harris respectively. On November 24, 2010, Cooley conceded to Harris, giving the Democrats a sweep of statewide executive offices. On November 30, Harris declared victory. Harris was the state's first female attorney general, first African American attorney general (father from Jamaica), and first Asian American (mother from India) state attorney general when her term began in January 2011.

For much of the election cycle following the primary election, political analysts theorized early on that the strength of Cooley's name after being twice elected District Attorney in Democratic-Stronghold Los Angeles County, being viewed as a rising star in the California Republican Party along with the strength of Meg Whitman's well-funded campaign anchoring the California Republican ticket in 2010 made Steve Cooley the initial favorite by a slight margin to win the election.

Kamala Harris coalesced Democratic support with her opposition to Proposition 8, which Cooley promised to defend in court, opposing the unpopular Proposition 23 and any proposal for an SB 1070-style law in California. Harris benefitted from an endorsement and joint appearance with President Barack Obama at a rally at the University of Southern California before election day as well as a focus of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party on promoting her candidacy in Los Angeles County towards the final weeks of the campaign, which promised to make the race competitive.

On election night, the headliners on the Republican ticket, Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina were soundly defeated by Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer, with Democrats having a healthy margin to declare victory in every other statewide contest. Abel Maldonado, who was defeated for his reelection bid as Lieutenant Governor, stated that errors of the Whitman and Fiorina campaigns dragged Republican candidates on the bottom of the ticket down along with the fading fortunes of Whitman and Fiorina towards the end of the race.

The only bright spot statewide for the California Republican Party that night were early returns showing Cooley with a lead of up to eight points, in which he and many news organizations declared victory. However, the next morning, returns from Los Angeles County, which was believed to be a Cooley stronghold came in strong for Kamala Harris, removing one of Cooley's key advantages and making the race too close to call. Cooley then canceled a victory press conference scheduled for that day.

Los Angeles and San Francisco County reported their returns, which favored Harris with less than 38,000 votes (45.9% versus 45.7%)  separating both candidates at the end of counting that day.

On November 24, 2010, Cooley conceded the race when it was determined that he was going to be unable to overcome the 50,000-vote lead that Harris had built up and maintained during the past week, with a majority of the uncounted ballots coming from counties which Harris won. The closest statewide race of the 2010 cycle in California, Cooley was the top vote-getter of the 2010 Republican ticket, while Harris's victory gave the Democratic Party a clean sweep of all of California's statewide offices - a feat the party had last accomplished in 2002.
