The 2021 Tour of the Alps was the 44th edition of the Tour of the Alps road cycling stage race and the fifth edition since its renaming from the Giro del Trentino. It was held from 19 to 23 April 2021 in the Austrian state of Tyrol and in the Italian provinces of Trentino and South Tyrol, which all make up the Euroregion of Tyrol–South Tyrol–Trentino. [2] The 2.Pro-category race was initially scheduled to be a part of the inaugural edition of the UCI ProSeries, but after the 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it made its UCI ProSeries debut in 2021, while also still being a part of the 2021 UCI Europe Tour.

Teams

Thirteen of the nineteen UCI WorldTeams, seven UCI ProTeams, and one UCI Continental team made up the twenty-one teams that participated in the race. [4] UCI ProTeam Vini Zabù was originally invited to participate, but they imposed a self-suspension on racing after one of their riders received a positive anti-doping test. [5] Teams were allowed to field up a maximum of seven riders each, but four teams (Androni Giocattoli–Sidermec, Caja Rural–Seguros RGA, Trek–Segafredo, and UAE Team Emirates) each decided to only field six, for a total of 143 riders. [6] Of this number, there were 116 finishers. [7]

Classification leadership table

In the 2021 Tour of the Alps, there were five classifications, of which four had jerseys awarded to the leaders and winners; the colors of each jersey were derived from the company that sponsored each jersey. The general classification (GC) ultimately decided which rider won the overall race, and was calculated by adding up each rider's finishing time on each stage and deducting any bonus seconds accrued. For each stage, the top three finishers got ten, six, and four bonus seconds, respectively, taken off their GC time. The rider with the fastest time after each stage and at the end of the race wore the yellow jersey, sponsored by Italian apple-producing consortium Melinda. [28]

Points for 1stCategory.svg Category108642
Points for 2ndCategory.svg Category6420
Points for 3rdCategory.svg Category3210

The second classification was the mountains classification. Points were accumulated by being one of the first riders to summit certain climbs, which were marked as either third, second, and first-category climbs, in order of increasing difficulty. Each of the five stages had two designated climbs with points on offer; of these ten climbs, three were first-category, five were second-category, and two were third-category, for a maximum of 66 points that could be obtained by any one rider. The rider who accumulated the most mountains classification points after each stage and at the end of the race wore the light blue jersey, sponsored by Italian bank Gruppo Cassa Centrale. [30]

The young rider classification was based on and calculated the same way as the general classification, although only under-23 riders, born on or after 1 January 1998, were eligible to contest this ranking. The highest placed under-23 rider in the GC after each stage and at the end of the race wore the white jersey, sponsored by the Austrian branch of the safety and workwear clothing manufacturer Würth Modyf. [28]

The other points-based classification was the sprints classification. Each of the five stages featured one intermediate sprint, which offered six, four, and two points, respectively, to the first three riders to cross the sprint line, for a maximum of 30 points that could be obtained by any one rider. The rider who accumulated the most sprints classification points after each stage and at the end of the race wore the red jersey, sponsored by Italian sports news company PMG Sport. [28] [31]

The fifth and last classification was the team classification. For this classification, the times of the first three finishers for each team were added together, and the leading team after each stage and at the end of the race was the team with the lowest cumulative time. No special jerseys or jersey numbers were awarded to the leaders and winners of this classification. [32]
