Individual Standings: Tour de France General Classification

Undoubtedly the most important of all Tour de France General Classifications is the race for the Yellow Jersey, simply known as the race for the Tour de France. So far, during the 2023 Tour de France, the 2 winners from the past 3 years are locking horns and testing each other in every stage. The battle promises to be epic until the final day. Can Vingegaard defend his 2022 title, or could the 2020 and 2021 Tour winner Pogacar reclaim the crown? Is anyone else ready to challenge the 2 big men?

The race for the Green Jersey, or the Tour De France Points standings has been a very one-sided affair so far. Ever since the legendary sprinter Mark Cavendish crashed out of this year’s Tour during stage 8 this particular race seems to have been decided. The unstoppable Belgian Jasper Philipsen already won 4 stages and his advantage in this category is such that only if he fails to finish the Tour he will miss out on the Green Jersey. Here are the top 10 sprinters after stage 20:

1) J. Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceunink) 377 points

2)  M. Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) 258 points

3) B. Coquard (Cofidis) 188 points

4) T. Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) 146 points

5) J. Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) 128 points

6) K. Asgreen (Soudal Quick-Step) 125 points

7) J. Meeus (Bora-Hansgrohe) 123 points

9) M. Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious) 106 points

9) P. Bilbao Lopez (Bahrain Victorious) 103 points

10) D. Groenewegen (Jayco Alula) 95 points

Climber Standings: Tour de France General Classification

The third main jersey up for grabs via the Tour de France Standings is the Poke Dot Jersey, which is given to the best climber of the Tour. With most of the big mountains still ahead of us this particular General Classification is expected to take dramatic changes in the coming days. Right now the American Powless is holding a solid lead but this is likely to change soon. The 2 main favourites for the Yellow Jersey Vingegaard and Pogacar will naturally move up the standings in this category as they battle it across the mountains for the overall win. Here are the top 10 climbers after stage 20:

1)  G. Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) 105 points

2) F. Gall (AG2R Citroen Team) 92 points

3) J. Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) 89 points

4) N. Powless (EF Education-Easypost) 58 points

5) T. Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) 55 points

6) S. Yates (Jayco Alula) 44 points

7) T. Johannessen (Uno-X Pro Cycling Team) 38 points

8) J. Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) 31 points

9) M. Kwiatkwoski (Ineos Grenadiers) 30 points

10) S. Jensen (Lidl-Trek) 29 points

Youth Standings: Tour de France General Classification

All riders age 23 and younger compete for the White Jersey, or the right to be the best young rider of the Tour. For a good few years now the 2-time Tour champion Pogacar has been dominating this particular Tour de France Standings. It’s more of the same in 2023 too with Pogacar already holding over a 4-minute lead to his nearest pursuer. Ineos have the unique chance to place 2 young riders in the top 3 of this category though. Both Rodriguez Cano and the British rider Pidcock are strongly positioned to do so. As things stand the race for the podium in this category is shaping to be between only 4 riders. Here are the current standings:

1) T. Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) 79h24’07’’

2) C. Rodriguez Cano (Ineos Grenadiers) +05’48’

3) F. Gall (AG2R Citroen Team) +08’40’’

4) T. Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) +40’23’’

5) S. Jensen (Lidl-Trek) +02h07’58’’

6) T. Johannessen (Uno-X Pro Cycling Team) +02h08’04’

7) M. Burgeaudeau (Totalenergies) +02h13’44’’

8) C. Champoussin (Team ARKEA – Samsic) +02h50’38’’

10) M. Van Gils (Lotto DSTNY) +03h10’20’’

Team Standings: Tour de France General Classification

The final official Tour de France Standings are not for individual riders but for the Teams taking part.

1) Jumbo-Visma 238h31’02’’
