Points jersey

[wheelnut]

I am confused…
I am currently competing in the Vuelta and aiming for max sprint points to win the green points competition. So I put in an attack to grab the intermediate sprint just after the first attack point. Looking at race commentary I succeeded and won the sprint. However looking at the points table I see I am on 5 but we’ll down the table with the points leader on 13; the final winner of the race? Only logical explanation I can think of is there sprint points for stage wins and places! If so my strategy to try to win the points jersey is blown out the water!

Every sprint gives you 5 - 3 - 1 point (ending 1 - 2 - 3 place in a sprint)
Extra points every stage for the first 10 finalists

1 = 10 points
2 = 9 points

... and so on to 10th place with 1 point




But looking at results, my explenation is not exactly right, so bug? I don't know.

Seems that Canninga got a point from Hessels

Thanks guys. Will have to build that into my strategy
