Given for Winner combination classification | ||
The combination classification is one of the primary awards in the Vuelta a España cycling stage race. This classification is calculated by adding the numeral ranks of each cyclist in the general, points, and mountains classifications (a rider must have a score in all classifications possible to qualify for the combination classification), with the lowest cumulative total signifying the leader of this competition.
Since 2006, the leader of the classification wears a white jersey; in 2005 it was a golden-green jersey.
The award strongly favours top riders in the competition. Since its re-introduction in 2002, it has only been won by someone other than the race's overall winner four times: in 2002, 2003, 2012, and 2015. On all four of those occasions, the winning cyclist was placed either second or third in the overall classification.
