===Young rider classification=== {{Main|Young rider classification in the Tour de France}} [[File:Tadej Pogacar - Meilleur jeune du Tour de France 2023.jpg|thumb|right|upright|[[Tadej Pogačar]] wearing the [[Young rider classification in the Tour de France|White Jersey]] at the [[2023 Tour de France]]. Pogačar is the only rider to win the Young Rider's Classification 4-times overall and has held the white jersey for a record 75 days in total.]] The leader of the classification is determined the same way as the general classification, with the riders' times being added up after each stage and the eligible rider with lowest aggregate time is dubbed the leader. The Young rider classification is restricted to the riders that will stay under the age of 26 in the calendar year the race is held. Originally the classification was restricted to neo-professionals – riders that are in their first three years of professional racing – until [[1983 Tour de France|1983]]. In 1983, the organizers made it so that only first time riders were eligible for the classification. In [[1987 Tour de France|1987]], the organizers changed the rules of the classification to what they are today. This classification was added to the Tour de France in the [[1975 Tour de France|1975 edition]], with [[Francesco Moser]] being the first to win the classification after placing seventh overall. The Tour de France awards a white jersey to the leader of the classification, although this was not done between 1989 and 2000.<ref name="SL exp"/> Six riders have won both the young rider classification and the general classification in the same year: [[Laurent Fignon]] (1983), [[Jan Ullrich]] ([[1997 Tour de France|1997]]), [[Alberto Contador]] ([[2007 Tour de France|2007]]), [[Andy Schleck]] ([[2010 Tour de France|2010]]), [[Egan Bernal]] ([[2019 Tour de France|2019]]) and [[Tadej Pogačar]] ([[2020 Tour de France|2020]] and [[2021 Tour de France|2021]]). Three riders have won the young rider classification three times in their respective careers: Jan Ullrich, Andy Schleck and Tadej Pogačar. As of 2015 Jersey sponsor is Optician company Krys,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.sportspromedia.com/news/krys_eyes_tour_de_frances_white_jersey |title=Krys eyes Tour de France's white jersey – SportsPro Media<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=5 July 2015 |archive-date=11 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711121104/https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/krys_eyes_tour_de_frances_white_jersey |url-status=dead}}</ref> replacing Škoda who moved to the Green Jersey.
