Red jersey K-W - Miniature cycling figures

The Vuelta a España, Tour of Spain was inspired by the success of the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France. The leader of the tour is wearing the leader's jersey. The color of the leader's jersey of the Vuelta a España has changed several times since the original tour. The leader's jersey began as orange in 1935, became white in 1941, then back to orange in 1942. It was white with a horizontal red stripe from 1945–1950. In 1955, yellow became the color of the leader's jersey, the same color as in the Tour de France. Except for the 1977 Vuelta, when the jersey was orange, a yellow jersey was worn until 1998, when the color was deepened to a gold hue. However, for the 2010 edition, the colour of the leader's jersey was changed to red.
