2016 + 2' 13" Classification leadership In the 2016 Tour of California, 5 jerseys were awarded. For the general classification, calculated by adding the finishing times of the stages per cyclist, the leader received a yellow jersey (Amgen Race Leader Jersey). Time bonuses were awarded for the first three finishers on mass-start stages (10, 6 and 4 seconds respectively) and on intermediate sprints (3, 2 and 1 seconds respectively). This classification was considered the most important of the Tour of California, and the winner of the general classification was considered the winner of the Tour of California. Additionally, there was also a sprints classification, akin to what is called the points classification in other races, which awards a green jersey (Visit California Sprint Jersey). In the sprints classification, cyclists received points for finishing in the top 15 in a stage. In addition, some points could be won in intermediate sprints as well as bonus seconds in the overall classification. The first across the line got 3 seconds, the second two and the third rider, one. There was also a mountains classification, which awarded a Polka dots jersey (Lexus King of the Mountain Jersey). In the mountains classifications, points were won by reaching the top of a mountain before other cyclists. Each climb was categorized, either first, second, third, or fourth category, with more points available for the harder climbs. There was also a youth classification. This classification was calculated the same way as the general classification, but only young cyclists (under 23) were included. The leader of the young rider classification received a white and green jersey (SRAM Best Young Rider Jersey). The last jersey was awarded to the most combative rider of a stage for him to wear on the next stage. It was generally awarded to a rider who attacks constantly or spent a lot of time in the breakaways. This jersey was blue, white and yellow (Amgen Breakaway from Cancer© Most Courageous Rider Jersey). There was also a classification for teams. In this classification, the times of the best three cyclists per stage were added, and the team with the lowest time was the leader.http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/competition/jerseys https://web.archive.org/web/20140305151048/http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/competition/jerseys dead 5 March 2014 Official 2015 Jerseys AMGEN Tour Of California 2009, AEG 10 May 2013 Stage Winner General classification25px Youth classification25px Mountains classification25px Sprint classification25px Most courageous25px Team classification 1 Peter Sagan Peter Sagan Dylan Groenewegen Oscar Clark Peter Sagan Jacob Rathe UHC 2016 2Ben King Ben King Daniel Eaton Evan Huffman Will Barta CPT 2016a 3Julian Alaphilippe Julian Alaphilippe Neilson PowlessGregory Daniel BMC 2016 4Peter SaganMark Cavendish 5Toms SkujiņšToms Skujiņš 6Rohan Dennis not awarded 7Alexander KristoffPeter Sagan 8 Mark CavendishToms Skujiņš FinalJulian Alaphilippe Neilson PowlessEvan Huffman Peter Sagan not awarded BMC 2016 Notes In stage 2, Wouter Wippert, who was second in the sprint classification, wore the green jersey, because Peter Sagan (in first place) wore the yellow jersey as leader of the general classification during that stage.
