On stage 2, Sonny Colbrelli, who was second in the points classification, wore the green jersey, because first placed Brent Van Moer wore the yellow jersey as the leader of the general classification. For the same reason, Cyril Gautier, who was second in the mountains classification, wore the blue polka-dot jersey, and Patrick Gamper, who was second in the young rider classification, wore the white jersey.
