How does the Tour de France work?
The 112th edition of the Tour de France starts in Lille on July 5 and ends three weeks later.
Riders have to cover the entire 2025 Tour de France route, covering 3320km across 21 stages.
The rider who completes the distance in the fastest time wins the race, also known as the 'overall classification'. Each day, the rider who has completed the entire distance raced the quickest is the leader of the Tour de France, and wears a yellow jersey to signify him as such.
Read more about the jerseys of the Tour de France.
There is a secondary time classification for the best rider under the age of 26, the best young riders' classification, and he wears a white jersey if leading.
Riders also gain points for their position at the end of each day of racing, known as "stages". There is a secondary prize for the rider who gains the most points - the points classification, and the leader each day wears a green jersey.
There are also points atop a select number of mountain passes for the first riders to cross the top, with more points available the harder the mountain is to climb. The leader of the mountains classification wears a white jersey with red polka dots.
Most days, the peloton race the distance of the Tour de France stage as a bunch. This year's Tour de France features two individual time trials, where riders race a set distance alone against the clock.
There are other prizes, too. Read about the Souvenir Henri Desgranges and Souvenir Jacques-Goddet.
