Having sealed the first-ever British victory in the Tour de France yesterday, Bradley Wiggins has an additional reason for satisfaction after being confirmed as the new leader of the UCI’s WorldTour rankings.
The overall classification success, two stage wins and other placings achieved by Wiggins have lifted him from third to first in the points total, overtaking previous world number one Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha), who did not ride the Tour de France.
Tour third-placed finisher Vincenzo Nibali moves one place to third overall, while the rider who had previously been second, Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma Quick Step), goes to fourth.
Triple Tour stage winner and Maillot Vert Peter Sagan (Liquigas Cannondale) stays fifth, while Tour runner-up Chris Froome jumps up from 52nd to sixth place overall. He will continue his upwards momentum if he rides strongly in the Vuelta a España, where he will lead the Sky team.
The remainder of the top ten placings in the rankings are taken up by Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel Euskadi), who drops one place to seventh after crashing out of the Tour, fourth-place finisher Jurgen Van den Broeck (Lotto Belisol), Simon Gerrans (Orica GreenEdge) and Alejandro Valverde (Movistar).
The Sky Procycling team of Wiggins and Froome continue to lead the teams ranking, while Liquigas Cannondale, Katusha and Omega Pharma Quick Step remain constant in second, third and fourth. Cadel Evans did not defended his Tour title but the points gained by the BMC Racing Team in the race move it from ninth to fifth.
In terms of the nations, Spain and Italy remain on top. Great Britain moves from fifth to third, due mainly to Wiggins, Froome and Mark Cavendish. The country overtakes Belgium and Australia, which each drop down a place, while Tejay van Garderen’s fifth in the Tour helps the United States rise to sixth.
