The Jersey holders- will they keep it?
Nairo Quintana had both the polka-dot jersey of best climber, and the white jersey for best placed young rider. Andrew Talansky, as second-best placed rider wears the jersey here. Chris Froome in the yellow jersey of the ridrer with the lowest cumulative time, and Peter Sagan, and his green beard, has the green jersey for the most points. But will they keep their jerseys next year?
