Le maillot jaune is the jersey the leader of the general classification (GC) of the Tour de France wears, but what does the winner in Paris receive - other than flowers, a toy lion and kisses from podium girls? How are the points for the King of the mountain jersey calculated, and for the sprinters what does an intermediate sprint mean in terms of the overall battle for the green jersey? What about the white jersey, who's eligable and how do they win it?
We look at what each of these jeresys mean and how they are won by the riders in the Tour.
