Why do cycling road race leaders wear a yellow jersey?

In the world of cycling, it's a tradition for the leader of a road race to don a yellow jersey. This custom started with the Tour de France, where the yellow jersey, or 'maillot jaune', was introduced in 1919 to make the race leader more visible. The color was chosen because the race was initially sponsored by a newspaper printed on yellow paper. Now, the yellow jersey is an iconic symbol of success and leadership in cycling. It's not just a fashion statement, but a mark of honor and a target for competitors.
