I'm sure the answer should be obvious but I can't find it anywhere...
When the groups are laid out mid race and time gaps shown, I know the blue rider indicates team mates in a group but what do the orange riders mean?
I'm fully prepared to feel stupid  |

It does mean favorites but it's a little weird, like say in the Giro it counts for any stage in the entire race, so Cavendish would still be orange on a mountain stage. I don't know if there will be a fix or update.

15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

If I am not mistaken, they represent the favourite riders of the stage

It also represents those riders who are overall GC favorites. Although in one race they considered a rider a GC favorite despite the fact that he was well over 30 mins down so I agree a fix is in order |

it indicates designated team leaders. Thats why is cavendish orange even in mountains, because he is still leader of etixx for that race |

it's potential threats to you
cavendish is pacer in a mountain stage, that's why he is orange, so he can pace them back to you. but most of times they are orange if they are the climbers in a mountainstage because they form a threat to your stage win |
