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, where the winners were awarded 60 bonus seconds. The skier with the lowest cumulative time was the overall winner of the Tour de Ski. For the third time in Tour history, the skier leading the overall standings wore a gold bib.
