Classifcation

Don't you ever use the word "classification" with the meaning of "standings"?

I'm attaching a pic taken from the Facebook page of the Giro d'Italia.

Do you find the use of the word "classification" correct in this case'

Thank you.

It must be a British English convention. American English uses "rankings" or "ratings".
