Green Jersey

The Green Jersey is a distinctive award in professional cycling's Tour de France, given to the rider with the best overall performance in the points classification. Points are earned during stage finishes and intermediate sprints, rewarding consistent speed, agility, and top finishes across flat and hilly stages. Wearing the Green Jersey symbolizes a rider’s sprinting skill and their ability to excel in fast, competitive sections of the race. It’s a prestigious symbol of speed and consistency, separate from the overall race leader's yellow jersey.
