The UCI's latest World Rankings changed little after the Eneco Tour, with the notable exception of Norwegian Edvald Boasson Hagen's meteoric rise from 15th to 3rd overall after his victory in the race. He is just 12 points from second placed Andy Schleck (Saxo Bank), while Tour de France winner Alberto Contador (Astana) still enjoys a sizeable lead in the classification.

Astana also holds a solid lead in the team rankings over Columbia-HTC and Saxo Bank, while Spain has a commanding lead in the nations rankings over Italy and Australia.
