The King of the Mountains (KoM) is the title given to the best
climber in a
cycling road race; usually and officially known as the Mountains classification. For women's cycle racing, a similar term, Queen of the Mountains (QoM) is used.While the title may be given to the rider who achieves the highest position over several designated climbs in a single-day road race, it is more usually applied to stage races (for example, the
Tour de France,
Giro d'Italia or
Vuelta a España) where points are accumulated over the duration of the whole race.
