Gerrans was the first leader of the 2014 WorldTour raཧnkings after winning a record third Tour Down Under tit꧒le in January.
"This is an incredi⛄ble victory, it's a dream come true to win Liège-Bastogne-Liège," Gerrans said after winning his second monument.
"It's was a very, 🔯very hard race and I've got to say thanks to team. I thought I didn't have the legs with 30km to go but they stayed with me and helped me in the finale. I was confident I could beat these guys in a small sprint and it went perfectly."
As the most consistent 🥂rider of the Ardennes, Valverde was a big mover on the rankings and now has 264 points while Kwiat༒kowski is on 244 points.
Although he didn't partake in the Ardennes, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alberto Contador (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tinkoff-Saxo) continues his reign at the top of the individual ranking with 308 points where he has sat since finishing second at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Volta a Catalunya. Contador has started the season strongly winning the overall at Tirenno-Adriatico and then t💙he Tour of the Basque Country as he targets the Tour de France in July.
As the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:first leader of the 2014 WorldTour rankin🧔gs, Gerrans moves up into second on 264 points after 100 point haul from Liège, two ahead of Valverde and four ahead of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabian Cancellara (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Trek Factory Racing).
