Classification leadership table
editIn the 2015 Tour des Fjords, four different jerseys were awarded. For the general classification, calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage, and allowing time bonuses (10, 6 and 4 seconds respectively) for the first three finishers on mass-start stages, the leader received a gold jersey. Additionally, there was a points classification, awarding a dark blue jersey, and a mountains classification, the leadership of which was marked by a polka dot jersey. The fourth jersey represented the young rider classification, marked by a white jersey. This was decided in the same way as the general classification, but only young riders were eligible. There was also a classification for teams.
