If a rider is leading more than one classification that awards a jersey, he wears the yellow one, since the general classification is the most important one in the race.[3] Between 1905 and 1912 inclusive, in response to concerns about rider cheating in the 1904 race, the general classification was awarded according to a point-based system based on their placings in each stage, and the rider with the lowest total of points after the Tour's conclusion was the winner.[91]
