The coveted yellow jersey, symbolizing the overall winner, was claimed by British cyclist Bradley Wiggins of Team Sky. Wiggins secured his victory during the first challenging mountain stage at La Planche des Belles Filles, making him the first British cyclist to achieve this feat. The second and third positions were secured by Christopher Froome (Sky), a teammate and fellow Brit of Wiggins, and Italian Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale).

Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) emerged as a standout by winning three stages and becoming the first Slovak rider to dominate the points classification. Meanwhile, French cyclist Thomas Voeckler (Europcar) claimed the polka dot jersey for leading the mountain classification. The white jersey, awarded to the best young rider, went to American Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing), who finished 5th overall. The team classification was secured by Luxembourg-based RadioShack-Nissan, and the Danish cyclist Chris Anker Sørensen (Saxo Bank-Tinkoff Bank) was recognized for his outstanding efforts with the super-combativity award during the Tour.
