2009 UCI World Ranking

2009 UCI World Ranking 1 UCI World Ranking 20 January – 17 October Europe and Australia 24 Alberto Contador ESP AST 2009 AST 2009 Spain 2008 (UCI ProTour) 2010 The 2009 UCI World Ranking was the first edition of the ranking system launched by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), replacing the rankings previously part of the UCI ProTour, with which it would be merged in 2011 to form the UCI World Tour. The series started with the Tour Down Under's opening stage on 20 January, and consists of 13 stage races and 11 one-day races, culminating in the Giro di Lombardia on 17 October. All events except the Tour Down Under took place in Europe. The individual ranking was topped by Alberto Contador, who took the lead after his win in the Tour de France and was assured of winning the classification when second-placed Alejandro Valverde was absent from the final race of the series. Contador's AST 2009 team took the team title, with Valverde again second as leader of GCE 2009, and with a third Spaniard, Samuel Sánchez, completing the top three in the individual classification, Spain won the national rankings by a wide margin over second placed Italy. Events All 14 events of the 2009 UCI ProTour were included in the series calendar, along with the three Grand Tours, two early season stage races, and five one-day classics.2008 - 2009 UCI Road Calendar https://web.archive.org/web/20120801024432/http://www.uci.ch/templates/UCI/UCI2/layout.asp?MenuId=MTUyMjQ&LangId=1 2012-08-01 RaceDateWinnerSecondThirdOther pointsPoints allocation https://web.archive.org/web/20100603221313/http://www.uci.ch/Modules/BUILTIN/getObject.asp?MenuId=MTU2MzU&ObjTypeCode=FILE&type=FILE&id=NDk5MDY&LangId=1 2010-06-03 (4th place onwards)Stage pointsAustralia Tour Down UnderJan 20 – Jan 25Allan Davis AUS (100 pts)Stuart O'Grady AUS (80 pts)José Joaquín Rojas ESP(70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 46, 4, 2, 1, 1France Paris–NiceMar 8 – Mar 15Luis León Sánchez ESP (100 pts)Fränk Schleck LUX (80 pts)Sylvain Chavanel FRA (70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 46, 4, 2, 1, 1Italy Tirreno–AdriaticoMar 11 – Mar 17Michele Scarponi ITA (100 pts)Stefano Garzelli ITA (80 pts)Andreas Klöden GER (70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 46, 4, 2, 1, 1Italy Milan–San RemoMar 21Mark Cavendish GBR (100 pts)Heinrich Haussler GER (80 pts)Thor Hushovd NOR (70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 4 N/ABelgium Tour of FlandersApril 5Stijn Devolder BEL (100 pts)Heinrich Haussler GER (80 pts)Philippe Gilbert BEL (70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 4 N/ASpain Tour of the Basque CountryApr 6 – Apr 11Alberto Contador ESP (100 pts)Antonio Colom ESP (80 pts)Samuel Sánchez ESP (70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 46, 4, 2, 1, 1Belgium Gent–WevelgemApr 8Edvald Boasson Hagen NOR (80 pts)Aleksandr Kuschynski BLR (60 pts)Matthew Goss AUS (50 pts)40, 30, 22, 14, 10, 6, 2 N/AFrance Paris–RoubaixApr 12Tom Boonen BEL (100 pts)Filippo Pozzato ITA (80 pts)Thor Hushovd NOR (70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 4 N/ANetherlands Amstel Gold RaceApr 19Sergei Ivanov RUS (80 pts)Karsten Kroon NED (60 pts)Robert Gesink NED (50 pts)40, 30, 22, 14, 10, 6, 2 N/ABelgium La Flèche WallonneApr 23Davide Rebellin ITA (80 pts)Andy Schleck LUX (60 pts)Damiano Cunego ITA (50 pts)40, 30, 22, 14, 10, 6, 2 N/ABelgium Liège–Bastogne–LiègeApr 26Andy Schleck LUX (100 pts)Joaquim Rodríguez ESP (80 pts)Davide Rebellin ITA (70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 4 N/ASwitzerland Tour de RomandieApr 28 – May 3Roman Kreuziger CZE (100 pts)Vladimir Karpets RUS (80 pts)Rein Taaramäe EST (70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 46, 4, 2, 1, 1Italy Giro d'ItaliaMay 9–31Denis Menchov RUS(170 pts)Danilo Di Luca ITA(130 pts)Franco Pellizotti ITA(100 pts)90, 80, 70, 60, 52, 44, 38, 32, 26, 22 18, 14, 10, 8, 6, 4, 216, 8, 4, 2, 1Spain Volta a CatalunyaMay 18–24Alejandro Valverde ESP(100 pts)Dan Martin IRE(80 pts)Haimar Zubeldia ESP(70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 46, 4, 2, 1, 1France Critérium du Dauphiné LibéréJun 7 – Jun 14Alejandro Valverde ESP(100 pts)Cadel Evans AUS(80 pts)Alberto Contador ESP(70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 46, 4, 2, 1, 1Switzerland Tour de SuisseJun 13 – Jun 21Fabian Cancellara SUI(100 pts)Tony Martin GER(80 pts)Roman Kreuziger CZE(70 pts)60, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 46, 4, 2, 1, 1France Tour de FranceJul 4 – Jul 26Alberto Contador ESP(200 pts)Andy Schleck LUX(150 pts)Lance ArmstrongArmstrong's results were stripped in 2012; the 2009 UCI ranking was not changed to reflect this.
