There are actually 7 winners when you get right down to it. Our Grand Wizard would probably explain this far better than me. Lance Armstrong won the yellow jersey and was thus considered THE winner of the Tour de France, but here’s the breakdown:
Individual Winner [yellow jersey] – Bradley Wiggins of Great Britain and Team Sky Points Winner [green jersey] – Peter Sagan of Slovakia and Team Liquigas-Cannondale Best Climber Winner [polka dot jersey] – Thomas Voeckler of France and Team Europcar Youth Winner (under 25) [white jersey] - American Tejay Van Garderen of BMC Racing Team In addition to those winners there are: Best Team – Radioshack-Nissan of Luxembourg Super Combative Winner – Chris Anker Sorensen of Denmark and Team Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank The Day’s Winner of Stage 20 – Mark Cavendish of Great Britain and Team Sky I hope that clears things up.

The points competition includes the various points awarded daily for placement at the end of each days race, intermediate sprints, and the like. This was Peter's first Tour, can you believe it? We expect to hear from this guy a lot in future years. Congratulations Peter!
