Needing to finish ninth or better in today’s Il Lombardia to overcome his nine points deficit to Bradley Wiggins, Joaquim Rodriguez swooped to a commanding lead in the WorldTour series and looks almost certain to win the competition.
The Catalan rider broke clear on the final climb of the rain-deluged Classic, threading his way down skilfully the descent and then soloing in to the finish.
He held off the chase behind and reached the line nine seconds ahead of Samuel Sánchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi), Rigoberto Urán (Team Sky) and the rest of the chase group.
In doing so, he achieved his stated pre-race goal of both winning the race and taking over the WorldTour lead.
“This for me was a perfect season,” he said, thus explaining how he gathered the necessary points. “I won Fleche-Wallonne, I took the second position in the Giro d'Italia, third place in the Vuelta a Espana. After that I did my best in order to get ready for World Championships and the Giro di Lombardia: in the former my performance was so-and-so, but in the latter it was a triumph.”
Prior to the race Tour de France, Paris-Nice, Tour de Romandie and Criterium du Dauphine winner Wiggins had 601 points. Today’s success netted Rodriguez a cool 100 points and catapulted him to 692; unless Wiggins elects to ride the concluding Tour of Beijing and has an extremely successful race, the WorldTour trophy will go to Rodriguez.
Even if the Briton decides to ride, he will be impeded by his long season, a drop in his recent form and the lack of a time trial in the Chinese event. Rodriguez is not scheduled to take part, but would likely reverse this decision if he needs to protect his lead.
The conclusion: the Catalan is all but certain to win the 2012 WorldTour.
“I was fighting for a double goal,” he said today. “To win this prestigious competition, and to take the lead of UCI World Tour Ranking. I managed to, so I'm really happy.”
Revised rankings:
The new points table sees Rodriguez and Wiggins trade places at the top, while Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma Quick Step), Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas Cannondale), Alejandro Valverde (Movistar), Simon Gerrans (Orica Green Edge), Chris Froome (Sky) and Peter Sagan (Liquigas Cannondale) remain in their previous slots of third through eighth.
Sanchez’s runner-up slot today moves him up to places to ninth, while Rui Costa (Movistar) slips a place to tenth.
There’s practically no change in the teams’ list, with the only shift in the top ten being Katusha’s jump over Liquigas Cannondale into second overall. Wiggins’ Sky team remains far ahead and will take that classification.
Rodriguez’s victory bolster’s Spain’s stranglehold on the countries’ ranking and it too is a certain winner. Great Britain, Italy, Belgium and Australia hold top five slots.
Colombia is the only new entry to the top ten, knocking Portugal and Norway down a place to ninth and tenth.
