Australian Jai Hindley crossed the line alone to win Stage 5 of the 2023 Tour de France on Wednesday, also taking the overall leader's yellow jersey, as defending champion Jonas Vingegaard won a tactical battle with key rival Tadej Pogacar.

Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard won the 2023 Criterium du Dauphine cycling race Sunday to warm up for his Tour de France title defense in three weeks.

Italy's world time-trial champion Filippo Ganna continued his sparkling form on Saturday by winning the 14th stage of the Giro d'Italia, while Joao Almeida tightened his grip on the leader's pink jersey.

The 2020 Giro d’Italia is days away from beginning the second half of this jam-packed, exceptional racing season. Riders are facing the unknown, with very little recovery time, and isolation from family and friends in order to race. Limited access to the riders, empty finish lines, and scarce fans on roadsides have already made this season a historic one.

The Tour de France yellow jersey was first introduced into the race in 1919. Below, you will find a complete year-by-year breakdown of every rider to wear the yellow jersey during that year's race. There have been 24 different nations represented in the 270 wearers of the yellow jersey at the Tour de France.
