The yellow jersey is just an item of clothing. It Tour De France 100 introduced to help spectators identify the leader of a race, but over the course of years its significance has transcended its purpose to the point where it is often referenced in semi-religious tones. In Poppe was a third-year professional on the Dr Mann team. That year the Tour was organised in national teams and, like other strong cycling nations, Belgium had opted Tour De France 100 send more than one outfit to France. It would prove to be a dull race comprising three weeks of monotone stages that were so dreary the journalists covering the race complained and went on strike. Nevertheless Poppe and his team did their job and on the penultimate day, with Paris almost in view, Vanspringel was wearing yellow, if only by 12 seconds. Poppe was 15 minutes or so back on the general classification. That was how Poppe found himself in a six-man break that steadily began to take more and more time out of the peloton. Poppe happened to be the best placed rider on GC in the break and as their lead ballooned he suddenly became the maillot jaune virtuelthe yellow jersey on the road. The race organisers were worried. It was unimaginable. All this to deny Poppe the yellow Tour De France 100. The story became famous in Belgium and he benefitted financially at post-Tour races. I was newly married and my son had just been born. I saw him for the first Tour De France 100 after Tour De France 100 Tour. I needed the money. Poppe knew that the jersey was so important, so symbolic, that it was impossible in his era for him to wear it. A beacon was needed to guide France toward resurgence. The fight will be passionate for possession of the jersey! But was Christophe truly the first to wear it? I refused. I already felt the focal point of everything. He insisted yet I remained steadfast. But he was stubborn, more than me, and kept coming back. So they bought a yellow top in the first shop they found that had one. It Tour De France 100 not stop me winning my first Tour. In the same interview Thys also alluded to the race leaders wearing a yellow jersey the following year, a race he also won. While the claims have never been Tour De France 100 corroborated or disprovenChany suggests that perhaps after experimenting sporadically with the idea for a couple of years Desgrange finally resolved to formalise it during the next race, which after an interlude during the First World War was in It took Tour De France 100 more than an hour to repair his machine and as a result he lost the Tour. Christophe was proclaimed the moral winner but it was the Belgian rider Firmin Lambot who entered history as the first man to take yellow into Paris. The legend of the yellow jersey formed because of the sensational stories that the Tour produces, the tremendous tales that are written, and embellished, as each race develops and riders push themselves to the limits of their powers to either retain or assume the race lead. Voeckler repeated the feat seven years later, again taking yellow early, again defending it for 10 days before finally surrendering his lead. Ottavio Bottecchia was the first rider to wear yellow from start to finish, winning both the opening and closing stages in as he completely dominated events. The Italian was imperious in the Pyrenees, attacking on the Aubisque and not resting until he powered into Luchon four major climbs later, completing a stunning mountain raid. His margin in Paris was 35 minutes as he became the first Italian to win the race. He reportedly wore his yellow jersey all the way back to Italy, so proud was he of his win. He won the race again the following year, spending another 13 days in the jersey, but by June Bottecchia was dead, the victim of a curious incident while out training that remains unexplained to this day. The first was won by Andre Darrigade, who therefore Tour De France 100 wore the jersey until Anquetil claimed it in the afternoon. The following year became the first British rider to don the jersey — cue photos of him in yellow and a bowler hat, sipping tea and carrying an umbrella, the archetypal Englishman abroad. There have been occasions when multiple Tour De France 100 have worn yellow simultaneously. There have also been Tour De France 100 when no rider has worn it. This is usually out of respect after the previous incumbent has crashed out of the race. This is a jersey that Tour De France 100 to be earned, not gifted through the ill-fortune of others. Merckx holds the record for most days spent in yellow — 96 if you include half stages — but on this Tour De France 100 it was the Spaniard who wore the jersey. Displayed in a glass cabinet it is the perfect illustration of what this single piece of clothing has come to represent. It is the symbol of professional cycling, an emblem of effort and endeavour, a totem of tragedy and toil, of blood, tears and, ultimately of triumph. Sign up for our newsletter Newsletter.
