  • On stage 2, Hugo Hofstetter, who was second in the points classification, wore the yellow jersey, because first-placed Mads Pedersen wore the coral jersey as the leader of the general classification. [9] For the same reason, Mathieu Burgaudeau wore the yellow jersey on stage 3. [12]
  • After stage 3, Bruno Armirail was deemed to be leading the mountains classification and was presented with the blue jersey after the stage. However, before stage 4, the results of the KOM sprint atop the Col de Portes from stage 3 were corrected, so Jérémy Cabot became the new leader of the mountains classification and wore the blue jersey on stage 4. [18]
  • On stage 5, Pau Miquel, who was second in the young rider classification, wore the white jersey, because first-placed Tobias Halland Johannessen wore the yellow jersey as the leader of the points classification. [18]

  • On stage 2, Hugo Hofstetter, who was second in the points classification, wore the yellow jersey, because first-placed Mads Pedersen wore the coral jersey as the leader of the general classification. [9] For the same reason, Mathieu Burgaudeau wore the yellow jersey on stage 3. [12]
  • After stage 3, Bruno Armirail was deemed to be leading the mountains classification and was presented with the blue jersey after the stage. However, before stage 4, the results of the KOM sprint atop the Col de Portes from stage 3 were corrected, so Jérémy Cabot became the new leader of the mountains classification and wore the blue jersey on stage 4. [18]
  • On stage 5, Pau Miquel, who was second in the young rider classification, wore the white jersey, because first-placed Tobias Halland Johannessen wore the yellow jersey as the leader of the points classification. [18]
