For the general classification, calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage, the leader received an ochre jersey.Tour Down Under: Jersey Guide http://velostage.com/tour-down-under-jersey-guide/ Velostage.com Velostage 29 January 2013 13 January 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140113195619/http://velostage.com/tour-down-under-jersey-guide/ dead This classification was considered the most important of the 2014 Tour Down Under, and the winner of the classification was considered the winner of the race. Additionally, there was a sprints classification, which awarded a blue jersey. In the sprints classification, cyclists received points for finishing in the top 15 in a stage. For winning a stage, a rider earned 15 points, with one point fewer per place down to a single point for 15th place. Points towards the classification could also be accrued at intermediate sprint points during each stage; these intermediate sprints also offered bonus seconds towards the general classification. There was also a mountains classification, the leadership of which was marked by a white jersey. In the mountains classification, points were won by reaching the top of a climb before other cyclists, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs. The fourth jersey represented the young rider classification, marked by a grey, green and pink jersey. This was decided in the same way as the general classification, but only riders born after 1 January 1988 were eligible to be ranked in the classification. There was also a classification for teams, 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, and each member of the winning team received a red jersey on the final podium. Additionally, a green jersey was awarded on the podium each day, for the most aggressive rider, or riders, of that day's stage.
