Thanks to his victory in the Giro d'Italia, Ivan Basso (CSC) has moved up a few places in the ProTour rankings. 45, to be exact, as he now sits in second behind Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne). But there is still a 40 point difference between the top two, with Tom Boonen now moving down to third place.
