How the Mountains Classification Works

Every categorized climb in the Tour de France awards points to the first riders over the summit. The tougher the climb, the bigger the prize. Here’s how it breaks down in 2025:

  • Hors Catégorie (HC) — 20 pts for 1st
  • Category 1 — 10 pts for 1st
  • Category 2 — 5 pts for 1st
  • Category 3 — 2 pts for 1st
  • Category 4 — 1 pt for 1st

Bonus: On summit finishes, double points are awarded to raise the stakes.

🚴‍♂️ The rider with the most mountain points wears the Polka Dot Jersey, one of the most iconic looks in the peloton.
