What the green jersey is
The Tour created the green jersey in 1953, for its 50th anniversary. It goes to the rider leading the points classification, and points are paid at stage finishes and at the intermediate sprint, which the 2027 route puts on every road stage.
Peter Sagan has won it seven times, the record, with his last two in 2018 and 2019. Since then it has changed hands every year.
| Year | Winner |
|---|---|
| 2026 | Mads Pedersen |
| 2025 | Jonathan Milan |
| 2024 | Biniam Girmay |
| 2023 | Jasper Philipsen |
| 2022 | Wout van Aert |
| 2021 | Mark Cavendish |
| 2020 | Sam Bennett |
The 2027 stages that suit the sprinters
The race runs from July 2 to July 25, 3,479 km before homologation. The organizer’s stage list labels these six stages flat:
| Stage | Date | Start and finish | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fri, July 2 | Edinburgh to Carlisle | 185 km |
| 12 | Thu, July 15 | Chambéry to Valence | 162 km |
| 13 | Fri, July 16 | Aubenas to Montpellier | 164 km |

| 21 | Sun, July 25 | Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines to Paris Champs-Élysées | 116 km |
Seven more are labelled hilly, including Stages 2 and 3 in Great Britain. The organizer’s route summary counts seven flat stages and six hilly ones, against the six and seven of its stage list, so the exact split depends on which page you read.
What the record says about betting it
No rider has won the green jersey twice in the last seven Tours, and the 2024 winner finished third in 2026. A short price on the holder is a bet against seven years of the jersey changing hands.
The route is now known; what is still missing is each team’s Tour roster, which decides how many fast riders will chase the same six flat finishes.
