Twenty-three days, 21 stages, 198 cyclists, seven mountain stages, four jerseys, one winner and 2088 miles of riding made up the 102nd edition of the most difficult multi-day bicycle tour in the world. Widely held, across multiple sports, as the most challenging sporting event ever, the Tour de France brings the best road bikers from around the world to compete head-on against each other. Over the course of the race, different riders competed for different jerseys. This year, there were three Americans in the race: Tejay Van Garderen, Tyler Farrar and Andrew Talansky.

Each jersey holds a different purpose. The yellow jersey is for the rider with the lowest cumulative time over the course of the whole race. The white jersey is for the rider with the lowest cumulative time that is under 26 years of age. The green jersey is for the rider who earns the most points by playing high in sprint finishes and intermediate sprint banners. Lastly, the polka-dot jersey is for the rider who earns the most points by being one of the first to cross over the summits of mountains, or the finish line.  Without further ado, here are the winners of each stage and the four jersey winners at the end of the tour:

The 2015 Tour de France was incredibly exciting and saw many impressive performances. Rohan Dennis set the record for the fastest ever average speed in a time trial at the Tour, going  34.5 mph for almost nine miles. Daniel Teklehaimanot also became the first African rider to wear the polka-dot jersey, which he wore for stages six through nine. The race for the yellow jersey also became interesting in the final days with runner-up Nairo Quintana attacking leader Chris Froome, making this tour one of the most closely contested in years. From the Netherlands to the final meters on the Champs Elysees, the tour was an amazing race showing off the best cycling has to offer. Many hopes and dreams were dashed, but even more were made.
