Giro d'Italia
The leader of the race wears a pink jersey called the maglia rosa.  This is because pink is the colour of La Gazzetta dello Sport.  For many years, the leader of the mountain climbing competition wore a green jersey (called the maglia verde), but a change in the sponsor for that competition led to a jersey change in 2012. The mountains leader now wears a blue jersey (called the maglia azzurra). Similarly, the leader of the sprinters' competition wore a mauve jersey (called the maglia ciclamino) for many years. However, a sponsorship change in 2010 also led to a jersey change. The sprints leader now wears a red jersey (called maglia rosso passione).  The leader of the young riders' competition, for riders under age 25, wears a white jersey (called the maglia bianca).  This is the same as the young riders' competition in the Tour de France.
