October 19/09 11:00 am - Two Canadians in Final 2009 ProTour Rankings
Posted by Editor on 10/19/09
The UCI released the final ProTour rankings for the 2009 season after Saturday's Giro di Lombardia. To no one's surprise, Tour de France winner Alberto Contador (Astana) took the top stop, followed by two countrymen: Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne) and Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel - Euskadi). Vuelta stage winner Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Slipstream) was the top Canadian in 69th place, followed by Dominique Rollin (Cervelo Test team) in 251st. Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Slipstream) is the top American, in 18th, followed by Lance Armstrong (Astana) in 31st. Four spots are left blank, since the riders are under suspension for possible doping infractions. Astana was the top team, followed by Caisse d'Epargne and Team Columbia-HTC. In the Nations rankings, there was no surprise that Spain was number one, followed by Italy and Australia. The U.S. ranked tenth, and Canada 23rd. The final full standings are below:
