Talk:White jersey

message: How is "best young rider " determined?  I will try to research, but wondered if anybody else could help.--A Y Arktos\talk 19:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is simply determined by looking at the maillot jaune classification, then removing all riders born before January 1, 1981, and the then top ranked rider is awarded the white jersey. Poulsen 20:06, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  How determined? 

message: === 1989 Maillot Blanc (Gianni Bugno?) ===
The article says that, after 1989, the white jersey was no longer awarded, but the competition was still calculated. According to my calculations, if following the traditional rule stating that the rider must be born before January 1 of the current year minus 25, the 1989 award should be held by Gianni Bugno, placed 11th and born 14 February 1964. Also, Miguel Indurain, born 1964 too, finished 17th that year, 7 places ahead from claimed winner Fabrice Philipot. What is the source for this information?

replies: text: Okay, Only a few minutes later I find the answer. In 1978, a cyclist should be not older than 23 years, or be in his first or second professional year. Lubberding was in his second year, and Hinault already in his third year. (Dutch source). --EdgeNavidad (talk) 14:25, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

message: A similar question about the 1978 Tour de France youth classification. It was won by Henk Lubberding, born in 1953. However, that year's winner, Bernard Hinault, was born in 1954, so he was younger than HinaultLubberding. For both cyclists, it was their first Tour de France. Why did Lubberding win the white jersey, and not Hinault? --EdgeNavidad (talk) 14:22, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

message: It's a tiny article that can easily fit here. There's really no need for any of these articles to be separate. Nosleep break my slumber 22:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Wouldn't the articles be better placed under the classification name - in most occasions it's the classification rather than the jersey colour that's important. SeveroTC 22:58, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe. Currently an article such as King of the Mountains is about the award in all three Grand Tours, while Polka dot jersey, Green jersey#Maglia verde, and the oddly titled Orange jersey discuss the individual awards. If we want to make a fundamental change in how things are sorted, we could move/merge all those. Nosleep break my slumber 23:10, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I have changed "The Tour de Suisse awards a white jersey to a somewhat unique competition, the Sprints classification,..." to "The 2008 Tour de Suisse awarded a white jersey to". This is the only edition of the TdS where I was able to confirm that sprint jersey was indeed white, see . I've mentioned this problem also here: Talk:2013 Tour de Suisse. --Kompik (talk) 19:42, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
