Being a stage leader doesn't guarantee that you get any of the jerseys at all.
The ones wearing the special jerseys are:
- overall fastest
- best climber
- best sprinter
- best/fastest under the age of 25
And it's entirely possible to lead a stage w/o being any of the above.
Being the stage leader alone won't get you a special jersey.
Jerseys are mainly awarded based on how a rider performed on the previous stage(s) - apart from the first stage wherethe winner of the previous year will be allowed to wear his yellow jersey.
Overall leader on time wears the Yellow jersey - the "Maillot Jaune".
Green Jersey is for the leader in points.
Red polka dots indicate the "King of the Mountains" Climbs are rated in points according to difficulty and finishing place.
White jersey indicates the best rider under 25 (as of January 1st of that year)
Yellow Jersey
Well, if you are the overall race leader then you get to wear the yellow jersey. If you win the tour de France, then I think the payout is around a million dollars. Typically, when Lance won the tour seven times in a row, he split the million dollars with his teammates and didnt keep a dime. He made his money with endorsements. You can't win the tour based on an individual performance, it requires the entire team of riders to pull one rider to the finish line. The top rider is usually chosen before the race, basically one rider is the overall A rider and then you have mountain climbers, sprinters, spotters, etc.....
The general classification is calculated by TIME, not POINTS and so it's the time leader who wears the coveted Yellow Jersey.
But you can be rewarded for being overall fastest uphill (polka dot jersey), or by winning most sprints (green jersey)
Depends.
The rider with the shortest overall time wears a yellow jersey.
The rider with most sprint wins wears a green jersey.
The rider who've been fastest uphill wears a polkadot jersey.
The fastest junior rider wears a white jersey.
All the others simply wear the team outfits.
The only stage win that guarantees a special jersey is the 1st stage, as the guy winning the 1st stage will be overall fastest at that point.
all the other stages can be won w/o receiving a special jersey.
The rider with the most sprint Points gets to wear a green jersey.
Unless he's also the overall leader, in which case he gets to wear the yellow jersey.
