Intergiro classification in the Giro d'Italia

From 1989 to 2005, there was an Intergiro classification in the Giro d'Italia. It was similar to the Minigiro classification that had been held in 1969. Riders were timed at the Minigiro point, midway through the stage, and a classification was made from these times. Exact rules evolved over time: initially there was only a small time bonus for the first riders at the minigiro, then only the first five riders received their real times, and then all riders received the time of the first rider, and the first five riders would get a time bonus. From then on it became indistinguishable from a classification based on points, because real times did not matter anymore.
