What’s the Memento Henri Desgrange and Memento Jacques-Goddet within the Tour de France?



The Memento Henri Desgrange is a prize awarded to the rider who crosses the Col du Galibier first in every version of the Tour de France. It honours Tour de France founder Henri Desgrange, who died in 1940.

If the Tour de France route does not embrace the Galibier, the prize is given to the primary rider to cross the very best summit of the race, just like the Cima Coppi awarded throughout annually on the Giro d’Italia.
