Intergiro classification in the Giro d'Italia

Template:Short description Template:Infobox Sports award The Intergiro is a competition in the annual multiple stage bicycle race the Giro d'Italia.[1][2] It was first introduced in 1989 and discontinued in 2005 as a stand alone Jersey. It was reintroduced in 2024 as number colour.[3] In its initial inception, the calculation for the intergiro was similar to that of the general classification, in each stage there is a midway point that the riders passed through a point and where their times were stopped.[2][4] As the race went, their times were compiled and the person with the lowest time was the leader of the intergiro classification and wore a blue jersey until 2005.[1][2] When the competition was revived in 2024, it was changed to points-based scoring, with competitors accumulating points at the designated midway point. The rider with the most points is the leader of the Intergiro classification.[5]


Blue jersey (1989–2005)

Somewhere in the middle of each stage there were points where the time of the riders were measured, in the same way as is done at the finish of the stage.[2] The only difference is that the racers ride on after the intergiro point to the regular stage finish. Next to a time measurement, there were bonus seconds to earn just like in the regular stage finish until 2005.[2] That way, riders who were in a group in front of the bunch gained time in the intergiro classification, and riders who were often in this position would have a good position in the classification. The leader of the Intergrio classification would wear a blue jersey.[2]

The intergiro was a way for riders, who weren't sprinters or contenders for the GC, to fight for a jersey, and is now similar to a combativity award. There were racers that geared their whole Giro d'Italia to the intergiro classification, and calmly rode to the finish after the intergiro point was passed. The intergiro classification was replaced by a combination classification in the 2006 Giro d'Italia.[5]

Green number (2024–present)

For the 2024 Giro d'Italia, the Intergiro competition was revived, but revamped with points-based scoring. For all stages (excepting individual and team time trials), an Intergiro mid-way arch is set up. The first eight riders to pass under the arch receive points toward the Intergiro competition. These riders also receive the same number of points towards the maglia ciclamino points classification. Additionally, the first three riders to pass the Intergiro arch receive time bonuses towards the general classification, with three seconds awarded to the first, two to the second, and one for the third. The rider with the most Intergiro points wears a green number.[5]

Points are currently scored with 12 points awarded to the first to reach the Intergiro point, followed by 8 points for the next, and the next 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, until the eighth cyclist who receives 1 point.[6]
