The record for victories is by one of the best female cyclists, Jeannie Longo, who has so far won 20 road championships.
The winners of each event are awarded with a symbolic cycling jersey which is blue, white and red, just like the national flag, these colours can be worn by the rider at other road racing events in the country to show their status as national champion.
