A dossard is a number worn by athletes to identify them as competitors in a race. It is typically affixed to a jersey, tri suit, or bib belt. The dossard assists timing systems, judges, and photographers in identifying the competitor. The term is largely applied in biking and marathon competitions and can contain timing chips or barcodes to record performance. The term “dossard” is more widely used than “bib” in French-speaking locations and professional biking.
