The jersey is yellow because the newspaper that first organised the race, L'Auto, was printed on yellow paper.
The classification is based on the time taken for each rider to cover the 21 stages, taking into account time penalties and time bo💯nu♉ses.
In th🍎e event of a tie in the general classification, the hundredths of a second recorded by the timekeepers during the individual time trial stages will be included in the total times in order to decide the overall winner.
In the absence of a time trial or if the riders remain tied, then the positions in whichꦛ they finished each stage will be added up 🐼and, as a last resort, their finishing position on the final stage will be taken into account.
Bonus seconds are offered to encou🅘rage attacking racing and these are deducted from the time taken to cover the stage. Bonuses of 10, 6, and 4 seconds are awarded on the finish line to the leading three riders on each stag💧e, excluding time trials. There are also certain climbs with bonuses of 8, 5, and 2 seconds at the top to encourage aggressive riding from the favourites.
All riders must finish within the time𝔍 limit – a certain percentage (ranging from 104% to 120% depending on the stage and aver♈age speed) of the stage winner's time each day in order to continue in the race. This is often a problem for sprinters, domestiques and injured riders when it comes to the high mountains.
What is the green jersey in the Tour de france? The rules of the maillot vert
The green jersey is worn by the leader of the points classification. Points are awarded at stage finish😼es and intermediate sp♔rints.
While the sprinters are the m𒉰ain candidates for the g🌠reen jersey, it's the more versatile among them who have the best chance of overall success in Paris.
Peter Sagan is one such ri🍎der and has 𓆉won green in seven of the past nine Tours, while Wout Van Aert dominated the points classification in 2022 to take his first green jersey. Jasper Philipsen won four sprint stages to anchor his green jersey in 2023.
Points are awarded to the first 15 riders at st🍬age finishes or intermediate sprints, with different allocations depending on the nature of the stage. More points are awarded on flat stages than on mountain stages or time trials. The winner of a flat stage scores 50 points, a mountain stage winner just 20.
Only riders who complete the entire Tour de France are included in the 🌠points classification.
In the event where a rider or riders finish outside the time limit but are reinstated by the president of the commissaires’ jury, they will lose all points awarde🌳d to them in the points classification.
For 2023 the gr🌠een jersey was a much darker shade of green than fans are used to as per a request made by the sponsor of the🃏 jersey, Skoda, but the colour was not popular with fans.
What is the polka-dot jersey? Explaining the maillot blanc à pois rouges
The polka-dot jersey is worn by the leader of the mountains classification, who is known as the 'king of the mountains'. For the three recent editions of the Tour, the overall winner has also won the polka-dot jersey, but Italy's Giulio Cic𒈔cone of Lidl-Trek won the competition in 2023.
Mountain points are on offer at the top of every classified climb, ranging from the hardest &nda🥂sh; 'hors catégorie' – to the easiest – category 4.
Hors catégorie: 20-15-12-10-8-6-4-2
Category 1: 10-8-6-4-2-1
Category 2: 5-3-2-1
Category 3: 2-1
Category 4: 1
In the event of two riders being equal on points, the rider with the most first places at the summit of super-category passes or climbs or summit finishes𒀰 will be declared the winner.
Only riders who complete the entire Tour de France will be include🐻d in the best climber classification. In the event of a rider or riders finishing outside the time limit but being reinstated by the president of the commissaires’ jury, they will lose all points awarded to them in the best climber classification.
What is the white jersey? Explaining the maillot blanc
The white jersey is worn by the leader of the youth classification.&nbs⛎p;
A 'young rider' is anyone who was born ꦕafter January 1, 1999, so anyone under 25 at the start of the year. The jersey goes to the best placed on general 🦋classification, based on time.
Tadej Pogačar has won the white jersey at the last four editions of the Tour, alongside the yellow jersey on two occasions.
The white jersey often used to be an indication of future Tour de France contenders, but since Pogačar has risen to greatness at such a young age, it's been difficult to see the future contenders so obviously. He is now too old for the competition, with the white jersey up for grabs in 2024.
What is the gold dossard?
The special gold number dossard is awarded to the rider deemed, subjectively, the ‘most combative’ the previous day. It is usually the rider most active in the breakaway or someone who shows panache and aggression, or even qualities of sportsmanship. It used to be a red number, but has changed this year as Century 21 now sponsor the classification and the new colour runs in line with🉐 their branding.
The prize, which is awarded on every road stage except the final one, is decided by a jury presided over by the race director and a new vote made b🎃y members of the Tour de France Club. Each stage’s most aggressive rider wears a gold race dossard during the following stage.
The race’s most aggressive ri🅰der (super-combatif) is selected by members of the jury at the end of the 🅘Tour de France and was won by Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Dstny) in 2023 after a number of aggressive attacks on stages.
What is the yellow dossard?
The yellow race number dossard is worn by members of the 𝓰team leading the teams classification. It is calculated by adding together the times of each team's three best riders o𝄹n every stage.
Any team reduced to fewer than three riders will b꧋e eliminated from the team classificatiꦯon.
Wearing a leader’s jersey is man෴datory from the signing-in protocol b♌efore the stage start until the post-stage press conference.
Skinsuits are provided to the leaders of the various ra🐠nkings for time trial stages, with special fitting sessions arranged the day before the time trials.
Riders can lead mu𒅌ltiple jersey classifications but only wear one jersey in the race. There is an established order of priority for the different leader’s jerseys: the yellow jersey, followed by the green jersey, then the red polka-dot jersey and finally the white jersey.
When a rider is leading several classifications, they wear tꦺhe one designated by the order of priority. The other jerseys are then worn by the riders lying second, third or fourth in the corresponding classif🍎ication.
