What is the Yellow Jersey called in french?
In the 2009 Tour de France there are 21 separate stages. Competitors are timed during each stage and individuals times are accumulated from stage to stage. The rider with the fastest accumulated overall time at the end of each stage is awarded the yellow jersey to wear in the following stage. A rider that has made up enough time over the rest of the field that at that particular moment during a stage has accumulated the fastest time to that point in the race and therefore is said to have the virtual yellow jersey. That same rider would win the actual yellow jersey if he can keep that overall fastest accumulated time gap over the rest of the field to the end of that stage. Example 2009 Tour de France: Stage 14 - George Hincapie was 5 minutes 25 seconds down to the overall leader and yellow jersey of Italian Rinaldo Nocentini at the beginning of the stage. At one point Hincapie was almost 8 minutes ahead of Nocentini during the stage and at that moment Hincapie was said to have the virtual yellow jersey. Hincapie finished the stage only 5 minutes 20 seconds ahead of Nocentini and therefore Nocentini remained the overall race leader and in the yellow jersey for the next stage by a 5 second margin.
