Classification leadership

There were five different jerseys awarded in the 2010 Giro Donne. In general, these followed the same format as those in the men's Giro d'Italia.

The leader of the General classification received a pink jersey. This classification was calculated by adding the combined finishing times of the riders from each stage, and the overall winner of this classification is considered the winner of the Giro.[4]

Secondly, the points classification awarded the maglia ciclamino, or mauve jersey. Points were awarded for placements at stage finishes as well as at selected intermediate sprint points on the route, and the jersey would be received by the rider with the most overall points to their name.[4]

In addition to this, there was a mountains classification, which awarded a green jersey. Points were allocated for the first few riders over selected mountain passes on the route, with more difficult passes paying more points, and the jersey would be received by the rider with the most overall points to their name.[4]

Fourth, there was the jersey for the Best Young Rider, which was granted to the highest-placed rider on the General classification aged 23 or under. This rider would receive a white jersey.

Finally, there was the jersey for Best Italian Rider, awarded to the Italian rider placed highest in the general classification. This rider would receive a blue jersey.

In addition to the jerseys, an award was given for Best Team. This result was determined by adding the total times of each team's top three riders at the finish of each stage.
