Position shows where each franchise stood in the league after every stage — first at the top, eighth at the bottom. Switch to Points for the cumulative totals those places came from. Both are built from the same figures: league points after each stage, from the official La Vuelta classifications. Stage 3 was annulled, so every line is flat there. The last column, Granada, is the end-of-race bonus settlement — final GC placings, green and polka-dot, each multiplied by the owning franchise's tier. It is the only column where the order of the whole league can move at once, and it did.
