Souvenir Jacques Goddet

The Souvenir Jacques Goddet is an award and cash prize in the Tour de France bicycle race that began in 2001.

The Souvenir is named in honour of the historically second Tour de France director and French sports journalist Jacques Goddet.

It is awarded to the first rider to reach the summit of the 2,115 m (6,939 ft)-high Col du Tourmalet mountain pass in the Pyrenees, apart from 2002 Tour when the Col d'Aubisque was used and 2007 Tour where it was awarded in Port de Pailhères.

A monument to Goddet was erected at the summit soon after his death in 2000.

In 2019, Thibaut Pinot became the first repeat winner of the prize.
