Total jerseys received after stages
The Giro d'Italia has had several different classification that had jerseys for its leader, see the overview of jersey colors in the Giro. Below are the 25 riders who in total received the most jerseys. If a rider was leading multiple classifications after a stage, this counts multiple times for this classification, even though in the following stage he would only wear one of these jerseys. This overview is as complete as my database is, for some years I am not sure if there was a jersey for some classifications, and occasionally I don't know the leader of a classification.

Only the classifications relevant for this top 25 are shown.

Because some years had more classifications with jerseys than other years, this does not say much about who was the most successful rider. To get a better idea about that, below an overview with only the three most important classifications: the general classification, points classification and mountains classification. For this table, the mountains classification also counted in the years where there was no jersey.
