The ProTour leader's jersey did not change hands following the Tour de France, with Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne) still holding it by a margin of 20 points from Tour winner Floyd Landis. In third place is Frank Schleck, who moved up from fourth to third ahead of Tom Boonen (Quick.Step). Cadel Evans (20th - 6th) and Christophe Moreau (13th - 7th) also moved into the top 10 as a result of their good Tour performances.
Team CSC won two stages in the Tour and kept its lead in the teams rankings over T-Mobile, while Italy resumed its place atop the nations table, just in front of Spain.
