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