Who Won the Tour de France Green Jersey?

The Points Classification (classement par points) in the Tour de France was first introduced in 1953.

It’s also called the green jersey or sprinters’ competition and is the second most important classification after the General Classification.

The rider leading the Points Classification wears the green jersey from Day 2 to Day 21. Each day, there are points on offer on intermediate sprint points and stages with a sprint finish. Points are offered for the first fifteen riders across the sprint points, ranging from 50 (first) to 1 (fifteenth).

Before the Tour de France starts, the organizers will classify each stage as Flat, Hilly, Mountainous, or Time Trial. Flat stages have higher sprint points compared to Mountainous stages. Since 2019, changes have been made to how the points are awarded and favor a sprinter that can climb relatively well on hilly stages compared to an all-out sprinter.
