Talk:Points classification in the Vuelta a España

Points Table is definitely out-of-date and one or more related statements seem out-of-date

The points table currently showing is definitely out-of-date, and at least one related statement is ambiguous but seems out-of-date, as I have indicated in the reason parameter of one of the 2 Citations Needed that I have added. The correct tables,from page 255 of their specific regulations pdf document, are as follows:

2. General individual points classification. This is obtained from the sum of the points earned by each rider in each of the stages, including Individual Time Trials, and in all of the intermediate sprints. If there is a tie in the total number of points, each of the riders in the tie shall be awarded the points corresponding to the starting position. Stage Points: For stages (Group 1): Stages 2, 3, 13, 16 and 21. 1st 50 points 9th 8 points 2nd 30 points 10th 7 points 3rd 20 points 11th 6 points 4th 18 points 12th 5 points 5th 16 points 13th 4 points 6th 14 points 14th 3 points 7th 12 points 15th 2 points 8th 10 points For stages (Group 2 and 3): Stages 4, 5, 7, 11, 17 and 19. 1st 30 points 9th 9 points 2nd 25 points 10th 7 points 3rd 22 points 11th 6 points 4th 19 points 12th 5 points 5th 17 points 13th 4 points 6th 15 points 14th 3 points 7th 13 points 15th 2 points 8th 11 points For stages (Group 4 and 5): Stages 6, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 18 and 20. 1st 20 points 9th 7 points 2nd 17 points 10th 6 points 3rd 15 points 11th 5 points 4th 13 points 12th 4 points 5th 11 points 13th 3 points 6th 10 points 14th 2 points 7th 9 points 15th 1 point 8th 8 points For stages (Group 6): Stages 10. 1st 20 points 9th 7 points 2nd 17 points 10th 6 points 3rd 15 points 11th 5 points 4th 13 points 12th 4 points 5th 11 points 13th 3 points 6th 10 points 14th 2 points 7th 9 points 15th 1 point 8th 8 points Points for intermediate sprints: : 1 per stage with a time bonus. 1st 20 points 4º 13 points 2nd 17 points 5º 10 points 3rd 15 points The top classification shall go to the rider with the best score after applying any penalties pursuant to the scale of penalties established in the UCI Regulations. Pursuant to article 2.6.017 of the said Regulations, in the event of a tie between two or more riders, this will be resolved by applying the following criteria: • Number of stage victories. • Number of victories in intermediate sprints counting for the General Individual Points Classification. • General Time Classification. The Race Management, upon consultation with the Commissaries Panel, reserves the right to move or suppress certain intermediate sprints counting for the General Points Classification.

It would require quite a bit of work to put all that into a few tables,and might risk violating WP:OR if one were careless when trying to explain what kind of stage got what number of points, so,per WP:NOTCOMPULSORY and WP:BNO, I may (or may not) leave that task to some more able or interested editor than me (or at least I don't expect to be trying to do it myself for quite some time,if at all).Tlhslobus (talk) 06:20, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
