Young rider classification in the Vuelta a España
Secondary classification in the Spanish cycling grand tour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The young rider classification is one of the primary awards in the Vuelta a España cycling stage race. This classification is awarded based on the young rider with the lowest cumulative time (the same methodology as the general classification). The jersey is also awarded alongside the points and mountains classifications.[1] In the 2017 and the 2018 editions, the winner only wore a red number bib as the white jersey was awarded to the winner of the Combination classification.[2]
