Talk:Vuelta a España

message: Under the "History" section, why is Germany specifically highlighted for having three Vuelta wins?  The nation has fewer Vuelta wins than France and Belgium, for example, yet those two nations are not mentioned.Ian Glenn 20:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  ADD MAILLOT ICONS! 

message: Is the Vuelta's points classification one that follows the Giro pattern (no discounting for mountain stages), or one that follows the Tour pattern (King of the Flats)? Not knowing so much about it, and internet searching being sorely lacking - and limited to people going 'what is the pattern?' - does anyone know the answer, and could they add it to the relevant page? 121.208.18.179 (talk) 11:29, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems to be same number of points regardless of stage type: I just had a look at last years edition and the winner got 25 points on Stage 2 (flat, Ciolek) as on stage 8 (mountainous, Cunego). That's a bit original research-ish but it's probably in the rules somewhere. It's worth mentioning in the text and at Points classification in the Vuelta a España. SeveroTC 15:02, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Points classification 

message: After reviewing this article and other related articles to the Vuelta, such as the annual event articles and the classification articles. I noticed they were lacking consistency and standardization in terms of format, layout, infoboxes, and etc, especially those pre-2000.  Also, a lot of them could use more details for the written summary part of the annual event especially the early years of the event. 
I already started work on  adding the infoboxes to each of the annual event articles. Any help with this project would be appreciated especially with the written part for each annual event article because my grammar isn't the best.

thread_title:  Grand Tour stage winners by nationality at CfD 

message: Not arguing the fairness of the verdict, but merely asking what is considered to be the official verdict? Roberto Heras was the original winner, then failed a test for EPO later that year. After various appeals, in 2012, the Spanish supreme court finally upheld Heras' appeal. But the official Vuelta website still lists Denis Menchov. The infobox lists Denis Menchov as the 2005 winner, but the number of titles list has Heras on four. 
In short - which source should be used for the 2005 Vuelta winner? 82.3.79.102 (talk) 20:22, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

message: La Madrid Challenge by La Vuelta, the equivalent of La Course by Le Tour de France for the Vuelta, should be indicated (and someone should create it) -- 65.94.171.217 (talk) 06:53, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
