The most prestigious classification of the race is the general classification. All of the stages are timed to the finish, after finishing the riders' times are compounded with their previous stage times; so the rider with the lowest aggregate time is the leader of the race. The leader is determined after each stage's conclusion. The leader of the race also has the privilege to wear the race leader's blue jersey. After 5 stages the rider with the lowest aggregate time is the winner.
The points classification is determined by the points are given at the finish line and at the intermediate sprints of each stage. The red jersey is worn by the rider who at the start of each stage, has the largest number of points. The rider who, at the end of the tour, holds the most points, wins the points competition.
The King of the Mountains is the title given to the best climber in a cycling road race. During mountain stages of the race, points are awarded to the rider who is first to reach the top of each significant climb. Points are also awarded for riders who closely follow the leader up each climb. The number of points awarded varies according to the hill classification, which is determined by the steepness and length of the course. The climbers' jersey is worn by the rider who, at the start of each stage, has the largest number of climbing points. At the end of the tour, the rider holding the most climbing points wins the classification.
The Young rider classification is restricted to the riders that are under the age of 23. The leader of the classification is determined the same way as the general classification, with the riders' times being added up after each stage and the eligible rider with lowest aggregate time is dubbed the leader.
