## Stage races 

1.3.051 A classification leader's jersey in stage races must be sufficiently distinct from those of the teams and clubs, as well as from national jerseys, world champions' jerseys and those of UCI cups, series and classification leaders. 

Conversely, concerning road cycling and more specifically for “grands tours” only, it shall be the teams that are required to differentiate their jersey from that of the individual general classification leader’s jersey.

1.3.052 (N) An individual general classification leader's jersey shall be mandatory. 

1.3.053 (N) Advertising on a leader's jersey shall be reserved for the organiser of the race. 

However, spaces are reserved for use by the riders/teams, as described in the “UCI jerseys visual guidelines” brochure published on the UCI Website. The principal partner(s) of a team shall stand out there from all other advertisements. 

This provision shall also apply to the skinsuit worn by the leader on which spaces are also reserved for use by riders/teams on the lower part (shorts), as described in the “UCI jerseys visual guidelines” brochure published on the UCI Website.
