• Arrivals on a medium mountain stage: 25, 22, 20, 18, 16, 15, ... 1 point for the 20th ranked rider.
• Arrival on a mountain stage : 20, 17, 15, 13, 12, 10, 9, ... 1 point for the 15th ranked rider.

• Sprints (two or three by stage): 6, 4 and 2 points in the first 3.

• Climb of 2^nd category : 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 and 5 points for the first 6 riders.
• Climb of 3^rd category : 4, 3, 2 and 1 point for the first 4 finishers.
• Climb of 4^th category : 3, 2 and 1 point for the first 3 finishers.
