The 2004 version of the yellow jersey.

Since the first Tour de France in 1903, there have been 1,909 stages, up to and including the 20th stage of the 2007 Tour de France. Since 1919, the race leader following each stage has been awarded the yellow jersey (French: Maillot Jaune).

Although the leader of the classification after a stage gets a yellow jersey, he is not considered the winner of the yellow jersey, only the wearer. Only after the final stage, the wearer of the yellow jersey is considered the winner of the yellow jersey, and thereby the winner of the Tour de France.

In this article first-place-classifications before 1919 are also counted as if a yellow jersey was awarded. There have been more yellow jerseys given than there were stages: In 1913[1], 1929[2] and 1931[3], there were multiple cyclists with the same leading time, and the 1988 Tour de France had a "prelude"[4], an extra stage for a select group of cyclists. As of 2007, 1,917 yellow jerseys have been awarded in the Tour de France to 262 different riders.

In previous tours, sometimes a stage was broken in two (or three). On such occasions, only the cyclist leading at the end of the day is counted. The "Jerseys" column gives the number of days that the cyclist wore the yellow jersey, the "Tour wins" column gives the number of days that the cyclist won the yellow jersey. The next four columns indicate the number of times the rider won the points classification, the King of the Mountains classification, and the young rider competition, and the years in which the yellow jersey was worn, with bold years indicating an overall Tour win. For example: Eddy Merckx has spent 96 days in the yellow jersey, won five yellow jerseys for overall classification, won three green jerseys for the points classification, won two polka dot jerseys for king of the mountain classification, and never won the white jersey for the young rider classification. [5]He wore the yellow jersey in the Tours of 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1974 (which he all won) and 1975 (which he did not win).

Three cyclists (Jean Robic in 1947, Charly Gaul in 1958 and Jan Janssen in 1968) have won the Tour de France with only two yellow jerseys in their career.

As of 2008, Thomas Voeckler is the active cyclist who wore the most yellow jerseys, 10. [6]The two active Tour de France winners Óscar Pereiro and Alberto Contador rank 96th and 108th, with five and four days in yellow respectively.

Notes

  1. In 1913, Philippe Thys and Jean Rossius were both declared leader for 4 days[1].
  2. In 1929, Nicolas Frantz (LUX), André Leducq (FRA) and Victor Fontan (FRA) were all three declared leader after the 7th stage.[2]
  3. In 1931, Charles Pélissier (FRA) and Rafaele di Paco (ITA) were both declared leader after the 5th stage.[3]
  4. In 1988, the Tour de France started with a prelude, a 1km time trial in which one cyclist from every team could compete. This prelude was won by Guido Bontempi, who wore the yellow jersey on the first real stage of the 1988 Tour.

Per country

The yellow jersey has been awarded to 22 different countries since 1903. In the table below, "Jerseys" indicates the number of yellow jerseys that were given to cyclists of each country. "Tour wins" stands for the number of tour wins by cyclists of that country, [8]"Green" for the number of times the Green jersey for the winner of the points classification was given to a cyclist of that country,[9] "Polka Dot" for the number of times the Polka dot jersey for the King of the Mountains competition was given to a cyclist of that country,[10] and "White" for the number of times the White jersey for the winner of the young rider classification was given to a cyclist of that country.[11] The "Most recent" column shows the cyclist of the country that wore the yellow jersey most recently. The "Different holders" column gives the number of different cyclists of the country that wore the yellow jersey.

Yellow jersey winners without winning any stage

Greg LeMond in the final stage of the 1990 Tour de France, wearing the yellow jersey despite not winning any stage in that year.

Six riders won the Tour without any stage victory in that tour:[13]

  1. BelgiumFirmin Lambot 1922
  2. FranceRoger Walkowiak 1956
  3. ItalyGastone Nencini 1960
  4. FranceLucien Aimar 1966
  5. United StatesGreg LeMond 1990
  6. SpainÓscar Pereiro 2006

Of these six cyclists, Walkowiak is the only one never to win a Tour stage at all.[14] (Firmin Lambot won stages in the 1913, 1914, 1919, 1920 and 1921 Tours[15], Gastone Nencini won stages in the 1956, 1957 and 1958 Tours[16], Aimar won a stage in the 1967 Tour[17], Lemond won stages in the 1985, 1986 and 1989 Tours[18], and Pereiro won a stage in the 2005 Tour[19].)

Number of Tour winners in a single race

Since the start of the Tour de France, several times the Tour started without any former Tour de France winner. This happened in 1903, 1927, 1947, 1956, 1966 and 2006. In 1903, 2002 and 2006[20], apart from the cyclist that won the race, there were no former or future Tour de France winners.

In 1914, a record of seven former Tour de France winners started that year's Tour[21]:

  1. FranceLouis Trousselier (1905 winner)
  2. FranceLucien Petit-Breton (1907 and 1908 winner)
  3. LuxembourgFrançois Faber (1909 winner)
  4. FranceOctave Lapize (1910 winner)
  5. FranceGustave Garrigou (1911 winner)
  6. BelgiumOdile Defraye (1912 winner)
  7. BelgiumPhilippe Thys (1913 winner, who would also won the 1914 Tour de France)

In addition to these seven cyclists, four cyclists in that year's Tour would go on to win a Tour later:

  1. BelgiumFirmin Lambot (1919 and 1922 winner)
  2. BelgiumLéon Scieur (1921 winner)
  3. FranceHenri Pélissier (1923 winner)
  4. BelgiumLucien Buysse (1926 winner)

Winning Tour de France on first occasion

Eleven cyclists won the final yellow jersey of the Tour de France (and therefore the overall classification) the first time he entered the competition.

Finishing career with Tour de France victory

Five cyclists won the Tour de France the last time they entered the competition.

Fausto Coppi is the only cyclist who won the Tour de France in both the first and the last Tour he entered.

Frantz, André Leducq and Victor Fontan, who were in that winning stage 17 break, were exactly tied in time. Today the judges would go back to the time trial and look at the fractions-of-a-second differences. If that doesn't resolve the tie, then a look at placings solves the problem. The Tour didn't have rules to take care of ties, so 3 Yellow Jerseys were awarded. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help)
