The yellow jersey is worn by the rider who leads the general classification (GC) standings after the last completed stage. If a rider moves into the lead of the GC but fails to start the next stage, they will still be considered to have 'worn the yellow jersey'. In such a case, the rider who takes over as GC leader in their absence will only be counted as a yellow jersey wearer if they actually wear the jersey.
Example: Remco Evenepoel withdrew from this year's Giro d'Italia before stage 10 while leading the GC standings. Geraint Thomas was in 2nd place before Evenepoel's withdrawal. Even if Thomas had not been GC leader after stage 10, he would still be considered to have worn the leader's jersey since he decided to wear it on stage 10 itself.
Furthermore, if the jersey changes hands on the final stage, the rider leading the GC standings after the stage will be considered a yellow jersey wearer.
The market will close on the first rest day, 10 July.

@PelotonEliza Good question. I would consider that rider as being a yellow jersey wearer, in line with the case of a rider who is awarded the yellow jersey but doesn't get to actually wear it in the race.
@PelotonEliza As an aside, the yellow jersey changing hands on the Champs Elysees would mean we'd be in for a very exciting Tour!
