Withdrawals All teams were allowed to start with 8 riders. For 20 teams this would create a starting field of 160 riders. Just like previous years however, some teams chose to start with fewer riders, which reduced the number riders on the official starting list to 151. AST 2008, EUC 2008, COF 2008 and EUS 2008 started with 7 riders, GST 2008 started with 6 riders and only 5 riders were selected for team LAM 2008.

At the end of the tour, the top 10 in the standings receive points accorded as follows: 50, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5 and 2.
