VeloNews: In theory, the Tour’s best young rider competition is a straightforward parallel to the race for the yellow jersey. Take the GC results, strip out all the riders over the age of 25, and what remains is your white jersey classification. Come Paris, the lowest time wins. Simple. Unless you’re Tejay Van Garderen, the young American currently leading the competition.

VeloNation: Everybody wants to win on the host country’s national day but the stage looks like going abroad as usual.
