The maillot jaune, or yellow jersey, is awarded to the overall leader of the Tour de France, the prestigious annual cycling race. It is presented by the race organizers, which are primarily the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO). The yellow jersey signifies the cyclist with the lowest cumulative time across all stages of the race. This iconic jersey has been a symbol of excellence in cycling since its introduction in 1919.
