The ''[[Combativity award in the Tour de France|prix de la combativité]]'' goes to the rider who most animates the day, usually by trying to break clear of the field. The most combative rider wears a number printed white-on-beige instead of black-on-white next day. An award goes to the most aggressive rider throughout the Tour. Already in 1908 a sort of combativity award was offered, when ''Sports Populaires'' and ''L'Éducation Physique'' created ''Le Prix du Courage'', 100 francs and a silver gilt medal for "the rider having finished the course, even if unplaced, who is particularly distinguished for the energy he has used."{{sfn|Woodland|2007|p=96}}{{sfn|Thompson|2008|p=40}} The modern competition started in 1958.{{sfn|Woodland|2007|p=96}}{{sfn|Augendre|1996|p=45}} In 1959, a Super Combativity award for the most combative cyclist of the Tour was awarded. It was initially not awarded every year, but since 1981 it has been given annually. Eddy Merckx has the most wins (4) for the overall award.

The [[Team classification in the Tour de France|team classification]] is assessed by adding the time of each team's best three riders each day. The competition does not have its own jersey but since 2006 the leading team has worn numbers printed black-on-yellow. Until 1990, the leading team would wear yellow caps. As of 2012, the riders of the leading team wear yellow helmets.<ref>{{cite web |author=Simon MacMichael |url=http://road.cc/content/news/60789-team-skys-yellow-helmets-cause-kerfuffle-during-tour-de-france-stage-1 |title=Team Sky's yellow helmets cause a kerfuffle during Tour de France Stage |publisher=Farrelly Atkinson|work=Road.cc |date=1 July 2012 |access-date=9 July 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105172325/http://road.cc/content/news/60789-team-skys-yellow-helmets-cause-kerfuffle-during-tour-de-france-stage-1 |archive-date=5 November 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref> During the era of national teams, France and Belgium won 10 times each.{{sfn|Woodland|2007|p=203}} From 1973 up to 1988, there was also a team classification based on points (stage classification); members of the leading team would wear green caps.
