Things you'll learn along the way
- The polka dot jersey (maillot a pois) is awarded to the King of the Mountains — the rider who accumulates the most points on designated mountain climbs during the race.
- Eddy Merckx was nicknamed 'The Cannibal' because he won so frequently that he seemed to devour his competitors. He won 5 Tours de France, 5 Giros d'Italia, and numerous other races.
- The peloton is the main group or pack of riders in a road cycling race. Riding in the peloton allows cyclists to conserve energy through drafting, reducing wind resistance by up to 40%.
