Ages of leaders of the combination classification and wearers of the combination jersey
Below, you'll find the number of times each rider led the combination classification, their youngest and oldest ages, and the number of times they wore the white/patchwork jersey (whether or not as leader of the corresponding combination classification), their youngest and oldest ages. These overviews are somewhat similar, but not identical. This is for two reasons: first, there wasn't a jersey in every year; second, in some cases, the leader of the combination classification didn't wear the corresponding jersey because they were already wearing a different jersey.
