Classification leadership table

edit

In the Critérium du Dauphiné, four different jerseys were awarded. The most important was the general classification, which was calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. Time bonuses were awarded to the first three finishers on all stages except for the individual time trial: the stage winner won a ten-second bonus, with six and four seconds for the second and third riders respectively. The rider with the least accumulated time is the race leader, identified by a yellow jersey with a blue bar; the winner of this classification was considered the winner of the race.[13]

Points for the points classification
Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Stages 1–3 & 5 25 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6
Stages 4, 6–8 15 12 10 8 6 5 4 3 2 1

Additionally, there was a points classification, which awarded a green jersey. In the classification, cyclists received points for finishing in the top 10 in a stage. More points were awarded on the flatter stages in the opening half of the race.[13]

Points for the mountains classification
Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Points for Hors-category 15 12 10 8 6 5 4 3 2 1
Points for Category 1 10 8 6 4 2 1 0
Points for Category 2 5 3 2 1 0
Points for Category 3 2 1 0
Points for Category 4 1 0

There was also a mountains classification, the leadership of which was marked by a blue jersey with white polka dots.[4] In the mountains classification, points towards the classification were won by reaching the top of a climb before other cyclists. Each climb was categorised as either hors, first, second, third, or fourth-category, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs. Hors-category climbs awarded the most points; the first ten riders were able to accrue points, compared with the first six on first-category climbs, the first four on second-category, the first two on third-category and only the first for fourth-category.[13]

The fourth jersey represented the young rider classification, marked by a white jersey. This was decided the same way as the general classification, but only riders born on or after 1 January 1993 were eligible to be ranked in the classification. There was also a team classification, in which the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added together; the leading team at the end of the race was the team with the lowest total time.[13]
