The epic twentieth, penultimate stage did not answer every question. On the final, celebratory, friendly stages of the Grand Tours \u2014 now a tradition \u2014 only the most prestigious final sprint is usually contested; most prestigious because here it is fought by the sprinters who have made it over the mountains for three weeks. We would truly have been disappointed if this year’s Vuelta had left its hero of previous years without a win: he had taken 9 stages here before, but this year he just couldn’t find the position or rhythm to win a sprint, and this was his last chance. It’s a joy that John Degenkolb took that chance and claimed his tenth, jubilee stage \u2014 in Madrid, no less!<\/p>\n

So it was this time too, but there was one more prize whose owner hadn’t been decided over the previous twenty stages: the green jersey. I’ll talk about Grand Tour jerseys in general another time; for now I’ll only say that the Vuelta’s green jersey (MAILLOT VERDE) is specific and can’t be called a traditional sprinter’s jersey. It goes to the winner on points, which are distributed as follows: on stages, the first fifteen get 25\u201320\u201316\u201314\u201312\u201310\u20139\u20138 and so on down to 1 point, and one intermediate sprint per stage gives its first 3 riders 4\u20132\u20131 points respectively. The race’s profile leaves the sprinters not even a minimal chance of winning this classification, and under such conditions the intermediate sprints matter very little. This time, though, it so happened that on the last, friendly stage the two Spaniards in the top two places of the classification were separated by just two points, and the chaser, Alejandro Valverde, had no intention of calmly giving up this prize. And so it was: Alejandro fought and took the green jersey off Joaquim (Purito) Rodr\u00edguez. Considering the riders’ specializations, Purito’s chances here weren’t even minimal.<\/p>\n
