Isaac del Toro of UAE Team Emirates XRG won the white jersey for the best young rider at the 2026 Tour de France, and finished third overall, 9:42 behind his teammate Tadej Pogačar. The 2027 Tour starts in Edinburgh on Friday, July 2, 2027, and no white jersey odds are posted for it yet.
The 2026 young rider classification
The white jersey goes to the best-placed young rider in the overall classification, so it is decided by the same time as the yellow jersey. Here is the final young rider standing after stage 21, with each rider’s place overall.
| Young rider | Rider | Team | Time | Gap | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Isaac del Toro | UAE Team Emirates XRG | 74h 06′ 08″ | 3rd | |
| 2 | Paul Seixas | Decathlon CMA CGM | 74h 08′ 22″ | +2′ 14″ | 4th |
| 3 | Lenny Martinez | Bahrain Victorious | 74h 09′ 28″ | +3′ 20″ | 5th |
| 4 | Juan Ayuso | Lidl-Trek | 74h 14′ 14″ | +8′ 06″ | 7th |
| 5 | Davide Piganzoli | Visma-Lease a Bike | 75h 00′ 09″ | +54′ 01″ |
Four of the top seven overall were young riders, and the white jersey race was also a race for the podium: del Toro took third overall ahead of Seixas by 2:14. Pogačar won the Tour in 73h 56′ 26″, with Remco Evenepoel second at 6:26.
The 2027 Tour de France
The 114th Tour starts in Edinburgh, the third Grand Départ in Great Britain after London in 2007 and Leeds in 2014. The first three stages cross Scotland, England and Wales.
- Stage 1: Friday, July 2, Edinburgh to Carlisle, 184 km
- Stage 2: Saturday, July 3, Keswick to Liverpool, 223 km
- Stage 3: Sunday, July 4, Welshpool to Cardiff, 223 km
Stage 3 is the Tour’s first visit to Wales, and the race’s organizers say Edinburgh competes with Copenhagen for the title of northernmost host city in the Tour’s history.
How to read white jersey odds
A white jersey price is a chance written as a payout: -200 implies 66.7%, +300 implies 25% and +1000 implies 9.1%. A futures bet is worth making only when you rate a rider’s chance higher than the price does. Because the jersey follows the overall time, a white jersey price is a bet on a young rider’s general classification: in 2026 the winner also finished on the podium.
