Alberto Contador and his Astana team topped the season-long world rankings, released Monday by the UCI.
Sweeping to victory at the Tour de France, Contador and Astana racked up just enough points to win the final standings of the reworked “world ranking” that includes points collected during ProTour and Historic events on the UCI racing calendar.
The season wrapped up with Saturday’s Giro di Lombardia, which constituted the 24th and final race of the UCI World Calendar.
In the individual standings, Contador wins with 527 points to Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d’Epargne), with 483 points, and Samuel Sánchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi), third with 357.
Complete UCI World Rankings:
In the team classification, Astana wins with 1,100 points to Caisse d’Epargne’s 1,048. Columbia-HTC, which led the way with 85 victories on the season, ended with 957 points.
Curiously, Astana only had 22 victories all season, but most of them came in the World Calendar, allowing them to win the team classification in the UCI rankings even though six teams posted more victories throughout the year.
Spain led the world nation’s ranking, with 1,756 points, followed by Italy, with 984, and Australia, in third with 960 points.
Columbia-HTC won the season-long sweepstakes on the most number of wins across all UCI race categories with 85.
Saxo Bank was second, with 43, and Garmin-Slipstream, powered by a very strong second half of the season, ranked third on season-long victories with 29.
