- On stage 2, Olav Kooij, who was second in the points classification, wore the orange jersey, because first-placed Biniam Girmay wore the yellow jersey as the leader of the general classification. For the same reason, Samuele Battistella, who was third in the young rider classification behind Girmay and Kooij, wore the white jersey.
