Since the first Tour de France
in 1903
, there have been 1,994 stages, up to and including the 21st stage of the 2011 Tour de France
. Since 1919
, the race leader following each stage has been awarded the yellow jersey
.
Although the leader of the classification after a stage gets a yellow jersey, he is not considered the winner of the yellow jersey, only the wearer. Only after the final stage, the wearer of the yellow jersey is considered the winner of the yellow jersey, and thereby the winner of the Tour de France.
In this article first-place-classifications before 1919 are also counted as if a yellow jersey was awarded. There have been more yellow jerseys given than there were stages: In 1913, 1929, and 1931, there were multiple cyclists with the same leading time, and the 1988 Tour de France
had a "prelude", an extra stage for a select group of cyclists. As of 2011, 1,994 yellow jerseys have been awarded in the Tour de France to 270 different riders.
In previous tours, sometimes a stage was broken in two (or three). On such occasions, only the cyclist leading at the end of the day is counted. The "Jerseys" column lists the number of days that the cyclist wore the yellow jersey; the "Tour wins" column gives the number of days that the cyclist won the yellow jersey. The next four columns indicate the number of times the rider won the points classification, the King of the Mountains classification, and the young rider competition, and the years in which the yellow jersey was worn, with bold years indicating an overall Tour win. For example: Eddy Merckx
has spent 96 days in the yellow jersey, won the general classification five times, won the points classification
three times, won the mountains classification two times, and never won the young rider classification
. He wore the yellow jersey in the Tours of 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1974 (which he all won) and 1975 (which he did not win).
Three cyclists (Jean Robic
in 1947, Charly Gaul
in 1958 and Jan Janssen
in 1968) have won the Tour de France with only two yellow jerseys in their career.
Fabian Cancellara
is, as of 2011, the active cyclist who has worn the most yellow jerseys, 21. The two active Tour de France winners Alberto Contador
and Cadel Evans
rank 25th and 65th with seventeen and eight days in yellow respectively.
was won by cyclist of that country, "KoM" for the number of times the mountains classification in the Tour de France was won by a cyclist of that country, and "Young rider" for the number of times the young rider classification
was won by a cyclist of that country.
The "Most recent" column shows the cyclist of the country that wore the yellow jersey most recently. The "Different holders" column gives the number of different cyclists of the country that wore the yellow jersey.
Of these seven cyclists, Walkowiak is the only one never to win a Tour stage at all. (Firmin Lambot won stages in the 1913, 1914, 1919, 1920 and 1921 Tours, Gastone Nencini won stages in the 1956, 1957 and 1958 Tours, Aimar won a stage in the 1967 Tour, LeMond won stages in the 1985, 1986 and 1989 Tours, Pereiro won a stage in the 2005 Tour, and Contador won stages in the 2007 and 2009 Tours.)
Only seven times, the Tour started without any former Tour de France winner. This happened in 1903, 1927, 1947, 1956, 1966, 1999 and 2006. Only in 1903, apart from the cyclist that won the race, was there no other former or future Tour de France winner.
In 1914
, a record of seven former Tour de France winners started that year's Tour:
In addition to these seven cyclists, four cyclists in that year's Tour would go on to win a Tour later:

Yellow jersey winners without winning any stage
Usually the winner of the Tour the France also wins a stage, but that is not necessary. It is possible to be the winner of the Tour de France without winning a stage, because the Tour de France is decided by the total raced time. This has happened seven times so far:- 1922
- 1956
- 1960
- 1966
- 1990
- 2006
- 2010
Of these seven cyclists, Walkowiak is the only one never to win a Tour stage at all. (Firmin Lambot won stages in the 1913, 1914, 1919, 1920 and 1921 Tours, Gastone Nencini won stages in the 1956, 1957 and 1958 Tours, Aimar won a stage in the 1967 Tour, LeMond won stages in the 1985, 1986 and 1989 Tours, Pereiro won a stage in the 2005 Tour, and Contador won stages in the 2007 and 2009 Tours.)
Number of Tour winners in a single race
Every Tour de France only has one winner. But a cyclist that has won the Tour de France previously can enter the race again, and a cyclist not winning the race can win the race in a later year. In almost every Tour de France, there were multiple 'former or future' Tour de France-winners in the race.Only seven times, the Tour started without any former Tour de France winner. This happened in 1903, 1927, 1947, 1956, 1966, 1999 and 2006. Only in 1903, apart from the cyclist that won the race, was there no other former or future Tour de France winner.
