Regulations: Jerseys & classifications at the Criterium du Dauphine 2023

The yellow jersey

Carried by the leader in the overall standings. In other words, the rider who has the lowest overall time after adding up the times of all stages, taking into account time bonuses and penalties. If several riders have the same time, the fractions of a second from the individual time trial count first, then the lower overall number resulting from the addition of the individual stage placings and, in the final instance, the placing on the last stage.

Bonuses

There are time bonuses at the Criterium du Dauphine at the intermediate sprints (3, 2 and 1 second) and at the stage finish (10, 6 and 4 seconds), with the exception of the time trial on stage 4.

The green jersey

Carried by the leader in the points classification. Points can be collected at the intermediate sprints (10, 6, 4 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd) and at the finish of each stage.

On stages 1, 2, 3 and 5, the points breakdown at the finish is as follows: 25 - 22 - 20 - 18 - 16 - 14 - 12 - 10 - 8 - 6. The first ten riders receive points.

Stages 4, 6, 7 and 8 have this points breakdown: 15 - 12 - 10 - 8 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1.

In the event of a tie between two riders, first the number of stage wins will be taken into account, then the number of wins in intermediate sprints, which count towards the points classification, and then the riders' position in the overall classification by time.

The dotted jersey

Worn by the leader in the mountain classification at the Criterium du Dauphine. The jersey is blue with white dots. Points can be collected on all categorised climbs. The points key:

  • Hors Categorie: 15 - 12 - 10 - 8 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 -1
  • 1st category: 10 - 8 - 6 - 4 - 2 - 1
  • 2nd category: 5 - 3 - 2 - 1
  • 3rd category: 2 - 1
  • 4th category: 1 point

The overall ranking results from the addition of the points collected. In the event of a tie, the following procedure is followed:

  1. Number of first places in the Hors Categorie mountain classifications
  2. Number of first places in 1st category mountain classifications
  3. Number of first places in 2nd category mountain classifications
  4. Number of first places in 3rd category mountain classifications
  5. Number of first places in 4th category mountain classifications
  6. The time of the drivers in the individual overall standings

The white jersey

Is worn by the leader in the young rider classification of the Criterium du Dauphine 2023, which includes all riders born on or after 1 January 1998 - i.e. those who will be 25 years old or younger in 2023. The best-placed rider in the individual overall classification by time will receive the white jersey.

The yellow back numbers

Awarded to the leading team in the team ranking.

The brown back number

Awarded to the most combative rider of each stage. The prize is awarded by a jury chaired by the race director.
