King of the Mountains: The first award for the best climber was in 1933. The famous Polka-Dot jersey was worn by Lucien van Impe in 1975.
Points: The green jersey is awarded to the rider with the lowest accumulated total placings. A sprinter usually wins this jersey.
Young Rider: The winner wears a white jersey. It is awarded to the best rider under 25 years old.
Team Classification: Awarded to the team with the lowest cumulative time based on each day's top three finishing riders from each team.
