- The leader of the overall standings wears the red jersey . As always in international stage races, the overall ranking results from the addition of the times driven. In addition, there is a time bonus for the stages - apart from the time trial stages 10, 6 and 4 and for the intermediate sprints 3, 2 and 1 seconds.
- As in the Tour de France, the leader in the points classification wears the green jersey . The scoring results from the addition of the points at the finish of each stage and the intermediate sprint, which is also carried out on each stage. There is no intermediate sprint in the time trial, whether team or individual.
- The leader in the mountain classification wears the blue-dotted jersey . Points are awarded on 51 categorized climbs.
- The leader in the combined classification wears the white jersey . The combined ranking results from the placements in the overall ranking, points ranking and mountain ranking. The driver with the fewest ranking points is the leader of this special classification.
- At every stage, with the exception of team and individual time trials, the most active rider is awarded by an independent jury. He receives the red number and wears it on the next stage.
