stage winner
Leg's top finisher
A stage winner is the first-place finisher in one segment of a multi-part competition, especially in cycling.
Stage races like the Tour de France divide the overall route into daily stages, each with its own winner: Today's stage winner crossed the line three seconds ahead of the pack.
The stage winner may or may not lead the overall classification.
