UCI Rules
For the UCI World Tour, more points are given in grand tours than in other races; the winner of the Tour de France receives 200 points, and the winners of the Giro and Vuelta receive 170 points, while other races give 100 points at most. The grand tours have a special status for the length: they are allowed to last between 15 and 23 days.
