Famous for its unique and exclusive crystal glass sculptures, Czech glass-making company Lasvit was commissioned by the Tour de France to create an elegant trophy for the third consecutive year. The prize was hand-made by Czech glass-makers and designed by Peter Olah, from Slovakia, who is also responsible for the Race of Champions' trophy.
The winners of all four jerseys won a crystal prize. Chris Froome was the overall winner with the yellow jersey, Nairo Quintana won both the white jersey as best under-25 rider and polka-dot jersey as best climber, and Peter Sagan won the green jersey for best sprinter.
