The Young rider classification in the Giro d'Italia was added to the Giro d'Italia in 1976 for the younger riders in the race.[1] The classification is calculated in the same way as the general classification, with the riders times being totaled together after each stage; however, the classification is restricted to those that are under 25 years of age.[1][2] Between 1976 and 1994 the classification had different qualifications.[2] The leader of the classification is awarded a white jersey (maglia bianca).[2][1]
The classification was discontinued after the 1994 Giro d'Italia.[2][1] However, it was reintroduced in 2007, with the age limit increased to 25 years.[2][1]
