Overall leadership Two main individual classifications were contested in the Ski Tour 2020. The most important was the overall standings, calculated by adding each skier's finishing times on each stage. Time bonuses (time subtracted) were awarded at both sprint stages and at intermediate points during mass start stage. In the sprint stages, thirty skiers were awarded with bonus seconds from 60 seconds for the winners, while on mass start stage the first ten skiers past the intermediate point received from 15 seconds to 1 seconds. The skier with the lowest cumulative time was the overall winner of the Ski Tour.
