I dont understand why Vuelta a Espana doesnt have a youth clasification
It's due to the UCI rules that mean only four classification jerseys can be given out during a grand tour so the Vuelta chose to drop the Youth in favour of the combined.

To add content to this post, does someone have exact data for that final hill? From the profile it looks like even Degenkolb could be out of contention if Purito wants this and makes Moreno work.
Final hill is 1.5km @ 4.5% so I don't think Degenkolb can be ruled out.
Climb is too short to rule out sprinter and does not look like a day for Purito. Way its going looks like OGE feels Michael Matthew can win. Maybe Gilbert too. And Sagan if Cannondale allows him too.

In my humble opinion, I think Sagan does exactly what he wants to

calculated by adding the ranks of each cyclist in GC, points and mountains classifications with the lowest total being the leader of this competition. Usually most consistent one.
Purito getting in among the bonus seconds with third place ahead of Wilco Kelderman. The assault on the bonus seconds has begun! Meanwhile Matthews moves in to red and provisionally leads Quintana by 4" and Valverde by 11".
