Hi, first post so sorry if this is a numpty question.
Can someone explain the difference between the hill categories used in the Vuelta de Espana and the Tour de France?
It is my understanding that the Vuelta has Categories 3-1 with extra points for a high climb finish and even more points for reaching the Top Alberto Fernandez, the highest point of the Vuelta.
How do the different categories compare (i.e. how does Vuelta Category 1 compare with Tour De France Cat1? )
