SCORING SYSTEM
The Velogames Fantasy Vuelta a Espana runs a detailed scoring system, designed to accurately rate each rider's achievments over the 3-week event.
Points are scored at the end of each day and also for the final overall positions in the main rider classification at the end of the 3 weeks.
STAGE ONE SCORES - Team Time Trial
Stage Result - Team Time Trial
Stage 1 is a Team Time Trial. Points are awarded to all team members in the Top 6 teams, based on the following table. Riders do not have to finish alongside their leading team members to receive points. However, they do have to finish the stage as a classified finisher.

Intermediate Sprint
Each stage has 1 or 2 nominated intermediate sprints along the route. The leading 3 riders at each of these points score fantasy points. This scoring category will reward both breakaway riders and also those riders going for a high placing in the Points jersey standings. Points are not awarded on time-trial stages.

Summit - Hors Categorie Climb
The Hors Categorie climbs are the hardest mountain climbs in the race. The first 5 riders across these summits score some well-deserved bonus fantasy points.

Summit - First category climb
Points are awarded over the top of the first category climbs. The leading 5 riders across the summit of each of these climbs score fantasy points.

Breakway Points
Breakaway points are awarded to riders who are in the lead break at the Feed Zone on each day. The Feed Zone is usually located at approximately half-distance of each stage. If there is no feed zone, then breakaway points will be awarded at half-distance. A breakaway will be defined as a group of 20 riders or less, with a measurable gap of five seconds to any groups behind them.
