What is the difference in these two?

LPR is a Continental team. What does that mean as far as which races
they can compete in?

Can they do the Tour, Giro, and Vuelta?

TIA,

Continental teams are eligible for all races, but the percentage of
the field they can make up depends on the level of the race license.
There's a table on page 2:

That's going to change for next season though, now that the grand
tours are out of the pro tour.

Hey Dumbass,

The Grand Tours were never a part of the Pro Tour.

So how did Contador end up in third place overall?
