The oldest and most sought-after classification in the Tour de France is the general classification.[1][91] All of the stages are timed to the finish.[91] The riders' times are compounded with their previous stage times; so the rider with the lowest aggregate time is the leader of the race.[90][91] The leader is determined after each stage's conclusion: he gains the privilege to wear the yellow jersey, presented on a podium in the stage's finishing town, for the next stage.
