Giro 2023: Points Classification

Arnaud Demare - Giro 2023: Points Classificationimage: Cor VosWho’ll succeed Arnaud Demare as the winner of the points competition of the Giro d’Italia? Last year, the Frenchman outgunned Fernando Gaviria and Mark Cavendish with almost twice as much points to take home the maglia ciclamino.

You can follow the fight for the maglia ciclamino from Saturday 6 May, when the first points are awarded at the line of ITT from Fossacesia and Ortona.

The points in the Giro’s points competition are awarded at finishes and intermediate sprints. The amount of points varies with the kind of terrain of the particular stage. Most points are given in the flat stages, followed by medium mountain and high mountain stages. The lowest amount of points are awarded in the ITTs, obviously, because these don’t feature intermediate sprints.

The distribution of points is as follows:

Maximum amounts of points at the finish: 50 – 35 – 25 – 18 – 14 – 12 – 10 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1

Medium amount of points at the finish: 25 – 18 – 12 – 8 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1

Lowest amount of points at the finish: 15 – 12 – 9 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1

The amount of points at the intermediate sprint for the maglia ciclamino (first of two sprints) is always the same: 12 – 8 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1
