Yes. The green jersey is worn by the one who wins the most sprints.
Yellow, green, polka dot..?
The best sprinter gets a green jersey.
giro d'italia = green vuelta a espana = was green, now polka dot tour of California = red tour down under = white and green tour de France = polka dot
There is no official purple jersey in the Tour de France. You might have seen a team jersey in that colour.
Erik Zabel won six green jerseys in a row: from 1996 to 2001.
He just wore his normal team jersey. He was 2nd Overall, 14th in the Green Jersey competition and 16th in the King of the Mountains classification.
There is no official rainbow jersey in le tour de france. If you've seen one, it was probably a team jersey with that design.
