In the 2017 Vuelta a Asturias, four jerseys were awarded. The general classification was calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. Time bonuses were awarded to the first three finishers on all stages: the stage winner won a ten-second bonus, with six and four seconds for the second and third riders respectively. Bonus seconds were also awarded to the first three riders at intermediate sprints – three seconds for the winner of the sprint, two seconds for the rider in second and one second for the rider in third. The leader of the general classification received a blue jersey.[16] This classification was considered the most important of the 2017 Vuelta a Asturias, and the winner of the classification was considered the winner of the race.

Additionally, there was a points classification, which awarded a green jersey.[16] In the points classification, cyclists received points for finishing in the top 15 in a stage. For winning a stage, a rider earned 25 points, with 20 for second, 16 for third, 14 for fourth, 12 for fifth, 10 for sixth with a point fewer per place down to a single point for 15th place. There was also a sprints classification for the points awarded at intermediate sprints on each stage – awarded on a 3–2–1 scale – where the leadership of which was marked by a black-and-white jersey.[16]

The fourth jersey represented the mountains classification, marked by a white jersey.[16] Points for this classification were won by the first riders to the top of each categorised climb, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs.[16] There was also a classification for teams, in which the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added together; the leading team at the end of the race was the team with the lowest total time.[16]
