"Vuelta a Espana" should redirect to "Vuelta a España" and not the other way around... Sabbut 06:37, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I agree... unless there's a policy against it that I don't know about, the proper title should be used here.
Also, because I'm just curious, what color/design jerseys are used in La Vuelta for the points/mountain competitions? Could someone who knows add that? I can't find the info anywhere. -- Mike J. 15:50, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The color/design of the leader jersey's in the Vuelta change very often. This year the leader got the amarillo/golden jersey, the winner of the mountain ranking a red jersey, the winner of the points ranking an ugly blue jersey with yellow fishes and the winner of the combination ranking got a white jersey.

"Mostly there is another ranking with a jersey like the ranking of the 'Metas Volantes' (intermediate sprints) or a combination ranking." - What exactly does this mean? Don't start a sentance with "mostly."

the second most important road cycling stage race in the world.

Just logged in to find out about when it starts. First week of September? Second? The official website has no info at all.

The tours of both Italy and Spain are claimed to be the second most important in the world. This should be changed.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.215.50.113 (talk) 18:36, July 30, 2007

Under the "History" section, why is Germany specifically highlighted for having three Vuelta wins? The nation has fewer Vuelta wins than France and Belgium, for example, yet those two nations are not mentioned.Ian Glenn 20:10, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Slightly strange that. I've changed it now though. SeveroTC 20:37, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
