From Velonews: "Alejandro Valverde's win at the Dauphine solidified his position atop the UCI's world rankings, and also brought hit team, Caisse d'Epargne, and country, Spain, to the top of their respective rankings."

Quite funny really with the UCI deciding on whether to "globalize" CONI's 2-year suspension of Valverde this week. Similar to DiLuca losing the PT jersey after the "Oil for Drugs" suspension.

I wonder when Vino will be in the lead again. According to CAS his suspension is over the 24th of July...

I was thinking the same thing, what they give in the jersey then in a week they take it from him? This is just ridiculous.

It is ridiculous that the Dauphine organizers even allowed him to start.

It is a comedy that he is on top of the rankings.
