Philippe Gilbert (pictured in 2017) is the current holder of the Ruban Jaune, having won stage 17 of the 2019 Vuelta a España at an average speed of 50.63 km/h (31.46 mph).
The Ruban Jaune(English; Yellow Ribbon) is a cycling title created in 1936 by Henri Desgrange, awarded to the rider recording the fastest average speed in a professional cycling race or stage longer than 200 km. The name is thought is to have come from comparison with the Blue Riband accolade awarded to the passenger liner crossing the Atlantic Ocean in record time. Desgrange changed the colour to yellow to reflect the newsprint of L'Auto, the sports newspaper he edited. The current holder of the Ruban Jaune is Philippe Gilbert.
