It is given to the rider that gains the most points for reaching mountain summits first . The leader of the classification is named the King of the Mountains, and since 1975 wears the polka dot jersey (French: maillot à pois rouges), a white jersey with red polka dots . </P> <P> The first Tour de France crossed no mountain passes, but several lesser cols . The first was the col des Echarmeaux (712 m (2,336 ft)), on the opening stage from Paris to Lyon, on what is now the old road from Autun to Lyon . The stage from Lyon to Marseille included the col de la République (1,161 m (3,809 ft)), also known as the col du Grand Bois, at the edge of St - Etienne . The first major climb--the Ballon d'Alsace (1,178 m (3,865 ft)) in the Vosges--was featured in the 1905 race . </P>
