Could someone explain to me the UCI points system?
Valverde already has almost 400 points this season.
Heck, winning a grand tour, or the world championships only gives 500.
How did he get all of those?
His win at Mercia should have given him... 100?

In theory, a rider who's only result was a podium in the Tour would have less points than Valverde does right now.
For discussion... what do you all think of the UCI points system?
