The green jersey was awarded to the mountains classification leader. In this ranking, points were won by reaching the summit of a climb ahead of other cyclists. Each climb was ranked as either first, second or third category, with more points available for higher category climbs. The Cima Coppi, the race's highest point of elevation, awarded more points than the other first category climbs. The Cima Coppi for this Giro was the Pordoi Pass and was first climbed by the Colombian José Jaime González. The intergiro classification was marked by a blue jersey. The calculation for the intergiro is similar to that of the general classification, in each stage there is a midway point that the riders pass through a point and where their time is stopped. As the race goes on, their times compiled and the person with the lowest time is the leader of the intergiro classification and wears the blue jersey. Although no jersey was awarded, there was also one classification for the teams, in which the stage finish times of the best three cyclists per team were added; the leading team was the one with the lowest total time. The rows in the following table correspond to the jerseys awarded after that stage was run. +Classification leadership by stage Stage WinnerGeneral classification25px|link=|alt=Points classification25px|link=|alt=Mountains classification25px|link=|alt=Intergiro classification25px|link=|alt=Trofeo Fast Team 1 Mario Cipollini Mario Cipollini Mario Cipollini not awarded Dimitri Konyshev SAE 1997 2 Mario Cipollini 3 Pavel Tonkov Pavel Tonkov Pavel Tonkov Mapei–GB 4 Mario Cipollini 5 Pavel Tonkov SAE 1997 6 Roberto Sgambelluri 7 Marcel Wüst 8 Mario Manzoni Mariano Piccoli Asics-C.G.A. 9 Dimitri Konyshev 10 Mario Cipollini 11 Gabriele Missaglia 12 Giuseppe Di Grande 13 Glenn Magnusson 14 Ivan Gotti Ivan Gotti José Jaime González Team Polti 15 Alessandro Baronti Asics-C.G.A. 16 Fabiano Fontanelli 17 Mirco Gualdi Team Polti 18 Serhij Hončar 19 José Luis Rubiera Kelme–Costa Blanca 20 José Jaime González 21 Pavel Tonkov 22 Mario Cipollini Final Ivan Gotti Mario Cipollini José Jaime González Dimitri Konyshev Kelme–Costa Blanca Final standings Legend   20px|alt=Pink jersey   Denotes the winner of the General classificationhttp://www.bikeraceinfo.com/giro/giro1997.html 1997 Giro d'Italia Bill and Carol McGann Bike Race Info Dog Ear Publishing 2012-08-06   20px|alt=Green jersey   Denotes the winner of the Mountains classification   20px|alt=Purple jersey   Denotes the winner of the Points classification   20px|alt=Blue jersey   Denotes the winner of the Intergiro classification General classification RiderTeamTime 1 Ivan Gotti ITA 20px|alt=Pink jersey SAE 1997 102h 53' 58" 2 Pavel Tonkov RUS MAP 1997 + 1' 27" 3 Giuseppe Guerini ITA POL 1997 + 7' 40" 4 Nicola Miceli ITA Aki–Safi + 12' 20" 5 Serhiy Honchar UKR Aki–Safi + 12' 44" 6 Wladimir Belli ITA BRE 1997 + 12' 48" 7 Giuseppe Di Grande ITA MAP 1997 + 12' 54" 8 Marcos-Antonio Serrano ESP KEL 1997 + 16' 07" 9 Stefano Garzelli ITA UNO 1997 + 18' 08" 10 José Luis Rubiera ESP KEL 1997 + 18' 56" Points classification RiderTeamPoints 1 Mario Cipollini ITA 20px|alt=Purple jersey SAE 1997 202 2 Dimitri Konyshev RUS 20px|alt=Blue jersey ALB 1997 146 3 Glenn Magnusson SWE AMO 1997 145 4 Pavel Tonkov RUS MAP 1997 121 5 Ivan Gotti ITA 20px|alt=Pink jersey SAE 1997 102 6 Mariano Piccoli ITA BRE 1997 93 7 Marcel Wüst GER FES 1997 92 8 Chepe González COL 20px|alt=Green jersey KEL 1997 81 9 Gabriele Missaglia ITA KEL 1997 10 Evgeni Berzin RUS Batik–Del Monte 74 Mountains classification RiderTeamPoints 1 Chepe González COL 20px|alt=Green jersey KEL 1997 99 2 Mariano Piccoli ITA BRE 1997 35 3 Roberto Conti ITA UNO 1997 28 4 Pavel Tonkov RUS MAP 1997 24 5 Ivan Gotti ITA 20px|alt=Pink jersey SAE 1997 23 6 Dimitri Konyshev RUS 20px|alt=Blue jersey ALB 1997 16 7 José Luis Rubiera ESP KEL 1997 8 Andrea Noè ITA Asics–CGA 15 9 Martin Hvastija SLO CTA 1997 10 Paolo Savoldelli ITA ALB 1997 14 Intergiro classification RiderTeamTime 1 Dimitri Konyshev RUS 20px|alt=Blue jersey ALB 1997 52h 48' 18" 2 Mario Cipollini ITA 20px|alt=Purple jersey SAE 1997 + 3' 01" 3 Glenn Magnusson SWE AMO 1997 + 3' 15" 4Serhiy Honchar UKRAki–Safi + 3' 22" 5 Evgeni Berzin RUS Batik–Del Monte + 3' 41" Trofeo Fast Team classification TeamTime 1KEL 1997 309h 26' 09" 2MAP 1997 + 14' 07" 3SAE 1997 + 33' 18" 4UNO 1997 + 36' 21" 5Aki–Safi + 40' 12" 6POL 1997 + 45' 39" 7Asics–CGA + 1h 01' 25" 8ALB 1997 + 1h 09' 24"9BRE 1997 + 1h 19' 39" 10FES 1997 + 1h 57' 47" Trofeo Super Team classification TeamPoints 1SAE 1997 399 2MAP 1997 391 3POL 1997 367 4ALB 1997 365 5Aki–Safi 306 6KEL 1997 304 7MAG 1997 284 8BRE 1997 283 9Asics–CGA 280 10AMO 1997 244 References Citations 30em 1997 Giro d'Italia 1 11 12 22 1997 Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia
