General classification, or GC, generally refers to the overall standings in a cycling stage race like the Tour de France or the Giro d’Italia. The overall GC leader is usually recognized by wearing a special jersey. In the Tour de France, this is known as the Yellow Jersey. The rider who wins the general classification in a stage race is considered the overall winner, even if that rider did not earn any other jerseys (such as the green, polka dot, white, etc).
