Classification leadership table

In the 2024 CRO Race, four different jerseys were awarded. The general classification was calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage, and applying time bonuses for the first three riders at intermediate sprints (three seconds to first, two seconds to second, and one second to third) and at the finish of mass-start stages; these were awarded to the first three finishers on all stages: the stage winner won a ten-second bonus, with six and four seconds for the second and third riders, respectively. The leader of the classification received a red jersey; it was considered the most important of the 2023 CRO Race, and the winner of the classification was considered the winner of the race.

Additionally, there was a points classification, for which the leader was awarded a blue jersey. In the points classification, cyclists received points for finishing in the top 15 of each stage. For winning a stage, a rider earned 25 points, with 20 for second, 16 for third, 14 for fourth, 12 for fifth, 10 for sixth, and a point fewer per place down to 1 point for 15th place. Points towards the classification could also be won on a 5–3–1 scale for the first three riders, respectively, at intermediate sprint points during each stage; these intermediate sprints also offered bonus seconds towards the general classification as noted above.

There was also a mountains classification, the leadership of which was marked by a green jersey. In the mountains classification, points towards the classification were won by reaching the summit of a climb before other cyclists. Each climb was marked as either hors, first, second, or third-category, with more points available for the higher-categorized climbs.

The fourth and final jersey represented the young rider classification, and its leadership was marked by a white jersey. This was decided in the same way as the general classification, but only riders born after 1 January 2001 (i.e., under 23 years of age at the beginning of the year) were eligible to be ranked in the classification. There was also a team classification, in which the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added together; the leading team at the end of the race was the team with the lowest total time.

  • On stage 2, Giovanni Lonardi, who was second in the points classification, wore the blue jersey, because first-placed Alexander Kristoff wore the red jersey as the leader of the general classification.
  • On stage 3, Alexander Kristoff, who was second in the points classification, will wear the blue jersey, because first-placed Giovanni Lonardi will wear the red jersey as the leader of the general classification.

Notes

  1. Original start of the stage was in Otočac but due to strong wind at the section from Senj to Novi Vinodolski and road closure for the big vehicles and motorcycles, the start point was moved to Novi Vinodolski at km 64.5 at 13:40 without a neutral zone.
