The one with the overall shortest time.
If the previous year's winner participates, he gets to wear it on the first stage of the new race as well.
The yellow jersey indicates the race leader. The colour was picked up by the Tour's first sponsor, a newspaper which was printed on yellow paper.
The rider that had the shortest overall time counted on finishing the previous stage(yesterday) gets to wear the yellow jersey that day.
If the overall winner of the previous year's race is participating, he will ride the 1st stage in the yellow jersey. If he isn't there won't be a yellow jersey until stage 2.
