- La Vuelta 2020 - It’s time to fix La Vuelta’s points jersey When Sam Bennett was relegated, rightly, from today’s La Vuelta sprint results, he lost any chance of taking home the green jersey –.
- Australian cycling's Team BikeExchange has confirmed that its spearhead rider Simon Yates will return to the Giro d'Italia for a fourth successive year in a bid to finally win the elusive grand.
The symbol of the Green Jersey is Peter Sagan. There is no reason denying it. With seven Tour de France ŠKODA Green Jerseys under his belt, he is the record-breaker and the ultimate Mr Green. So, how come the Vuelta’s overall winner Primož Roglič won the green as well? With all due respect, he is no sprinter – the reason is is because the points classification at La Vuelta is entirely different from the one at the Tour.
The points are awarded according to the placement at the finish line of every single stage. There are intermediate sprints as well but the number of points awarded there (4 points for the fastest rider) does not make much difference in comparison to the stage wins (25 points for the fastest rider). With the high number of summit finishes at La Vuelta, the results often correlate with the general classification.

Vuelta Espana 2020 Stages
In 2012, for example, John Degenkolb won five sprint stages but finished fourth in the points classification. Alejandro Valverde scored the points needed in the mountains and beat him by 50 in the end. Coincidently, Valverde, alongside Seán Kelly and Laurent Jalabert, has 4 titles to his name. Will Roglič threaten this record in the future? We shall see.
