Sagan is now 177 points ahead of the second (Kittel) in the green jersey battle with one sprint stage 3 mountains and 1 time trial remaining As you know I'm a big fan of Sagan like almost everyone else, but I really hope this points system gets changed in some way. Not "to fight against Sagan", but because certain things are just weird. If a stage is a mountaineous stage, you get much less points for winning the stage (logical), but it's unbelievably strange that the number of points for the intermediate sprints stay the same... For example in a flat stage you get 50 points for winning the stage and 20 for winning the intermediate sprint. In a mountain stage you get 20 points for winning the stage...but still 20 for winning the intermediate sprint..that makes no sense and I hope that gets changed as soon as possible. If they want to make differences between the stages in terms of points, that's great I think, but then they should just cancel the intermediate sprints in mountain stages If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

And no intermediate sprints, they're useless If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
