Dillon Corkery’s Rás Diary: I couldn’t believe the amount of people calling my name at the startline
Dillon Corkery's review of Rás Tailteann stage 2
When it comes to jerseys, there is a hierarchy in cycling. National championship jerseys take precedence over your team kit, European champions take precedence over nationals and the world champion’s bands are over Europeans.
On a stage race, however, the classification jerseys rule, with the yellow of race leader trumping all others. The U-23 leader’s white jersey is often next, followed by the green of points leader, the mountains classification, stage winner and the intermediate sprint classification if there is one.
