I love the Vuelta. I think they vary the parcours so that it is constantly interesting and always seems to offer close racing . But what on earth are they doing with the points competition? Today's 'intermediate' sprint is about 50m from the end of the stage and the points standings are almost the same as GC. It all seems a bit, well, pointless.
