Jacques Esclassan is a French former road cyclist, born on 3 September 1948, who built his reputation as a sprinter in the professional peloton of the 1970s. His best known result is the green jersey of the points classification at the 1977 Tour de France, a prize that rewards consistency in the sprints and intermediate finishes across three weeks of racing. In the Tour he also won five stages, and he added a stage victory at the Vuelta a España, so he held stage wins in two of the three Grand Tours. This entry records him as a male French road cyclist, remembered mainly for those sprint wins and for the green jersey he won in 1977.
