Retro Cycling Jersey Tricolore French Champion Jersey - REDTED Since 1907, the French road champion has worn the tricolor jersey (blue, white, and red). The French champion is allowed to wear this jersey from the start of the race until the next championship. This distinctive tricolor jersey has existed since the establishment of the French road championship. The first rider to secure this jersey was Gustave Garrigou in 1907. Many well-known cyclists have since proudly worn this jersey. Jean Stablinski donned the champion jersey no less than four times (1960-1962-1963-1964). Octave Lapize (1911-1912-1913), Francis Pélissier (1921-1923-1924), Georges Speicher (1935-1937-1939), and Arnaud Démare (2014-2017-2020) also won this jersey three times. Other great French riders who wore the Tricolore include Bernard Thévenet (1973), Laurent Fignon (1984), Bernard Hinault (1978). Laurent Fignon (1984) But the most remarkable achievement is attributed to Jeannie Longo: she won the iconic tricolor jersey no less than 20 times in road racing!
