Classification leadership

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.{{cite web|author=Laura Weislo |url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/giro08/?id=/features/2008/giro_classifications08 |title=Giro d'Italia classifications demystified |date=13 May 2008 |work=Cycling News |publisher=Future Publishing Limited |access-date=13 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130508234448/http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/giro08/?id=/features/2008/giro_classifications08 |archive-date=8 May 2013 |url-status=live }}

The highest ranked non-Italian cyclist in the general classification and the highest ranked isolati cyclist in the general classification were tracked.

In the mountains classification, the race organizers selected different mountains that the route crossed and awarded points to the riders who crossed them first.

The winner of the team classification was determined by adding the finish times of the best three cyclists per team together and the team with the lowest total time was the winner.{{cite web|url=http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&f=1270&p=1&c=1#page/1/mode/1up|title=Significato e valore delle prove di giovani e di stranieri nel XXI Giro d'Italia che ha celebrato il trionfo di Binda|newspaper=Il Littoriale|date=30 May 1933|location=Milan, Italy|pages=1–2|access-date=7 July 2013|language=it|trans-title=Meaning and value of the evidence of young people and foreigners in the XXI Tour of Italy which celebrated the triumph of Binda|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140711174534/http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&f=1270&p=1&c=1 |archive-date=11 July 2014|url-status=live}} If a team had fewer than three riders finish, they were not eligible for the classification.
