Classification leadership

In the 2013 Tour of Utah, 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 (Larry H. Miller Dealerships Leader Jersey). This classification is considered the most important of the Tour of Utah, and the winner of the general classification will be considered the winner of the event.[28]

Additionally, there is also a sprints classification, akin to what is called the points classification in other races, which awards a purple jersey (Xo Communications Sprint Jersey).[29] In the sprints classification, cyclists receive points for finishing in the top twenty in a stage. In addition, some points can be won in intermediate sprints.[28]

There is also a mountains classification, which awards a white jersey (Ski Utah King of the Mountain Jersey). 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.[28]

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. The leader of the young rider classification receives a blue jersey (Subaru Best Young Rider Jersey).[28]

The last jersey is awarded to the most aggressive rider of a stage for him to wear on the next stage. It is generally awarded to a rider who attacks constantly or spends a lot of time in the breakaways. This jersey is orange (Vivint Most Aggressive Rider Jersey).[28]

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.[28]
