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 no older than 25 years during the calendar year of the race. [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] [ clarification needed ]
