In 2012–2013, the way that the general classification was calculated was changed from a points system to using the riders' finishing times of each race (like a road racing stage race) with time 'bonuses' also available at an intermediate 'sprint' at the end of the first lap with 15, 10 and 5 seconds being awarded. The maximum time a rider can lose in the general classification is 5 minutes, excluding the bonus seconds. When a rider does not finish or does not start, he's also being handed a 5-minute time loss, excluding bonus seconds.
