Classification leadership table
In the 2020 Women's Tour Down Under, four different jerseys were awarded. For the general classification, calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage, and allowing time bonuses for the first three finishers at intermediate sprints and at the finish of mass-start stages, the leader received an ochre jersey.[12] This classification was considered the most important of the 2020 Women's Tour Down Under, and the winner of the classification was considered the winner of the race.
