Tour de France 2025: Rankings Overview
How are Tour de France Rankings calculated?
Stay up to date with the latest Tour de France 2025 standings. From the yellow jersey to the white, see how your favourite riders are tracking across every classification.
There are four individual classifications up for grabs at the Tour along with the team and combative classifications, though the general classification and its iconic yellow jersey is the most prestigious.
Every stage is timed until the finish, with the rider with the lowest cumulative time to that point declared the overall leader and awarded a yellow jersey – the maillot jaune – that must be worn by the rider. The jersey is yellow in honour of the paper would print its content on.
Wearing the yellow jersey gives one’s team and sponsors more publicity and motivates the individual to keep a hold of it for as long as possible.
This classification is generally won by the sprinters and sees points awarded based on a rider’s position at the end of a stage.
Stages are categorised into types and are awarded more points depending on their climbing difficulty; flatter stages are awarded more points to keep the competition for the jersey primarily among the sprinters.
Stages can also have one or more intermediate sprints scattered along its route, whereby points are awarded to the first 15 cyclists across its marked lines.
A rider with the most points at the end of a stage will don the green jersey the next day.
During mountain stages, points are awarded to the rider who is first to reach the top of each significant climb on offer, with points also awarded to the next nine riders to complete the ascent.
The number of points awarded depends on the category of the climb, which can range from one, the hardest; to four, the easiest.
In the case of the Tour, there are also the climbs, which are worth more points for being beyond categorisation and at high altitude.
A rider with the most points at the end of a stage will have the honour of wearing the polka dot jersey the next day.
This classification only applies to riders that will stay under the age of 26 in the calendar year, with the leader determined in the same way as the general classification.
