TdF isn't raced by nations, it's raced by teams.

These teams will usually have riders of several different nationalities.

Most of the riders, regardless of nationality, will ride in the team jersey.

Rides who do specially well, will get a jersey from the race organisation displaying their specialty:

  • Shortest overall time - yellow
  • best sprinter - green
  • best uphill - red dots on white
  • best young rider - white
