The yellow jersey, known as "maillot jaune," is awarded to the overall leader of the Tour de France, the prestigious annual cycling race. The rider with the lowest cumulative time across all stages of the race wears the jersey. This symbol of leadership signifies the cyclist who is currently in the best position to win the competition.
