Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne) is still well in command of the ProTour rankings, following the Volta a Catalunya, which finished on Sunday. The versatile Spaniard has a 49 point lead over Tom Boonen (Quick.Step), with Alessandro Ballan (Lampre-Fondital) in third place.
As the top three place getters of the Volta a Catalunya hadn't scored so far this season in the ProTour, there were no changes to the top 20 ProTour riders. Volta winner David Cañada is now in 21st place on 50 points, while second place getter Santiago Botero (Phonak) is in 27th, on 41 points, and Christophe Moreau (AG2R Prevoyance) is in 28th, on 37 points.
