Giro points jersey
The way the point are given out at the Giro must be different that the
Tour. It looks very likely, to me, that Rodríguez will win the points jersey over Cavendish. Steve G |

Steve G The Giro points jersey only awards points at stage finishes. It isn't a sprint jersey, it recognizes riders that are always in the hunt for stage wins. There are more competitions than I can keep track of. But the Giro does have a competition consisting of mid-race sprints. So it's like they have a sprint competition similar to the Tour's but they separated it into the component parts. F |

What is interesting to me is that because of the way the points are given out in the Giro it is a significantly different competition than in the Tour. The tour is point jersey is really a sprint jersey while the Giro is more about consistently placing high. It's probably true that a great sprinter has the chance to win more stages but as this year showed it is possible for a non sprinter to win. I haven't added anything up but I suspect if The Tour de France points were points jersey were scored this way lance (sorry LANCE) and probably other champions would have won both Jerseys. Steve G |
