Classification leadership

The leader of the general classification – calculated by adding the stage finish times of each rider – wore a pink jersey. This classification is the most important of the race, and its winner is considered as the winner of the Giro.[9]

In the mountains classification, the race organizers selected different mountains that the route crossed and awarded points to the riders who crossed them first.[9] The winner of the team classification was determined by adding the finish times of the best three cyclists per team together and the team with the lowest total time was the winner.[6][10] If a team had fewer than three riders finish, they were not eligible for the classification.[6][10]

The rows in the following table correspond to the jerseys awarded after that stage was run.
