Classification leadership

One leader's jersey was worn during the 1964 Giro d'Italia: the leader of the general classification – calculated by adding the stage finish times of each rider – wore a pink jersey. This classification is the most important of the race, and its winner is considered as the winner of the Giro.[8] There were no time bonuses in 1964.[9]

A major secondary classification was the mountains classification. In this ranking, points were won by reaching the summit of a climb ahead of other cyclists. There were two categories of mountains. The first category awarded 50, 30, and 20 points and the second distributed 30, 20, and 10 points.[10][11]

There were also intermediate sprints, called "traguardi tricolori", and there was a classification related to these.[12] The first three riders at each intermediate sprint scored points.[13]

Although no jersey was awarded, there was also one classification for the teams, in which the teams were awarded points for their rider's performance during the stages. This classification was named the "Ramazzotti" classification, and points were given for high positions in stages, intermediate sprints and mountain tops, and leading the general classification.[14]
