## Classification leadership table

[edit]

In the 2020 Czech Cycling Tour, four jerseys were awarded. The general classification was calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. The leader of the general classification received a yellow jersey, sponsored by the Olomouc Region and Moravian-Silesian Region, and the winner of this classification is considered the winner of the race.

There was also a mountains classification for which points were awarded for reaching the top of a climb before other riders. The climbs were categorized, in order of increasing difficulty, as third, second and first-category. The leader of the mountains classification wore a polkadot jersey, sponsored by Emco.
