Chris_ Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 I can't remember too many times when no one celebrates over the line. That was so close
The Ghost Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 It was a cracking career at two big teams.I hope he has one or two more wins in him.
Long Wheel Base Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 I am kinda disappointed that the green jersey winner didn't win the final sprint into Madrid.
Chris_ Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 I am kinda disappointed that the green jersey winner didn't win the final sprint into Madrid. Over the 3 tours, the points jersey went from almost more exciting than the GC race in TDF, to average exciting at Giro, to ...well... basically the GC list without any excitement at Vuelta.

Chris_ Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 The points jersey works so much different at the Vuelta than the other 2 GTs Do you think its time for a change? Make intermediate sprints worthwhile, and change the allocation at the different finishes?
Frosty Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Points are awarded according to placement at the finish line and at intermediate points of every stage and the rider with the most points wears the jersey. Stage finish 25-20-16-14-12-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1Intermediate sprint 4-3-2 This system unlike the Tour de France & the Giro d'Italia, gives an equal number of points in the mountains compared to the flats, this paired with the high number of summit finishes at the Vuelta means there is a correlation between the overall classification and the points jersey. A good example from 2012 when sprinter John Degenkolb won five stages but only finished fourth in the points competition with Alejandro Valverde well ahead.

Chris_ Posted November 25, 2020 Posted November 25, 2020 Very cool video. I'm always surprised at how much traffic they have to deal with and even more so with how close it is!
