In the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, five jerseys are awarded. For the general classification, calculated by adding the finishing times of the stages per cyclist, the leader receives a yellow jersey.[4] This classification is considered the most important of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, and the winner of the general classification will be considered the winner of the event.[5]
Additionally, there is also a sprints classification, akin to what is called the points classification in other races, which awards a green jersey.[4] Points are gathered at sprint line performances as well as finishing the stage in the top-fifteen places.[5]
There is also a mountains classification, which awards a red jersey.[4] In the mountains classifications, points are won by reaching the top of a mountain before other cyclists. Each climb is categorized, either first, second, third, or fourth category, with more points available for the harder climbs.[5]
There is also a youth classification. This classification is calculated the same way as the general classification, but only young cyclists (under 23) are included.[5] The leader of the young rider classification receives a blue jersey.[4]
The last jersey is awarded to the most aggressive rider of a stage for him to wear on the next stage.[5] It is generally awarded to a rider who attacks constantly or spends a lot of time in the breakaways. This jersey is orange.[4]
There is also a classification for teams. In this classification, the times of the best three cyclists per stage are added, and the team with the lowest time is the leader.
