Who’ll succeed Tadej Pogacar as the winner of the mountains classification of the Tour de France? In advance, the names of Julian Alaphilippe and Warren Barguil spring to mind as likely contenders. They won the polka dot jersey in 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The distribution of points is as follows:
HC-category: 20 – 15 – 12 – 10 – 8 – 6 – 4 – 2
1st-category: 10 – 8 – 6 – 4 – 2 – 1
2nd-category: 5 – 3 – 2 – 1
3rd-category: 2 – 1
4th-category: 1
Points are doubled on the Port d’Envalira (stage 15), which is this year’s Henri Desgrange Trophy, or the highest point in the entire route.
This summer you’ll find all results regarding the King of the Mountains battle in underneath scheme.
