Tour de France: Maillot à pois rouge

The others -- depending on their skill set -- will look to claim the green jersey, worn by the leader of the points classification, or the white jersey, worn by the the best-placed Under-25 rider and perhaps the polka-dot jersey, worn by King of the Mountains.

The King of the Mountains classification, awarded to the rider who accrues the most points for reaching mountain summits first, was first awarded to Spain's Vicente Trueba in 1933.

However, the polka-dot jersey wasn't introduced until 1975. Richard Virenque's seven wins, between 1994 and 2004, is the most by any rider.

The climbers will be made to earn their spots at this year's Tour, with the race taking in five different mountain ranges: the Vosges, the Jura, the Pyrénées, the Massif central and the Alps and a total of 23 mountains climbs.

History

There have been four cyclists who have won the tour five times:

- Jacques Anquetil of France (1957 and 1961-1964)- Eddy Merckx of Belgium (1969-1972 and 1974)- Bernard Hinault of France (1978-1979, 1981-1982, and 1985)- Miguel Indurain of Spain (1991-1995), the first competitor to win five consecutive races.

Lance Armstrong held the record for most Tour de France wins (seven) but he was stripped of those wins in 2012.

France has won more times than any other country. (36)

Three Americans have won: Greg LeMond (1986, 1989, 1990), Lance Armstrong (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005) and Floyd Landis (2006). Both Armstrong and Landis have had their titles stripped due to allegations of doping.
