What Tour de France prize is given to the most aggressive rider?

The Tour de France prize given to the most aggressive rider is the Combativity award.

Since 1952, the Tour has recognised riders who animate the race through attacks, breakaways and sustained aggression. A jury selects the most combative rider after each stage, while a separate super-combativity award honours the race’s most aggressive rider overall.

The award is not the same as the points classification, which rewards sprinting consistency, or the team classification, which ranks teams by their riders’ combined times. The fair play award is also a separate honour and does not identify the day’s attacking rider.

Stage combativity winners traditionally wear a distinctive race number on the following day. Since 2023, that number has been gold, replacing the red-backed number used from 1998 through 2022.
