Many surprises among the pluses; Van Eetvelt disappoints, the only -2
The first tops and flops of the 2026 season have been made official, after the Tour Down Under .
Winner Jay Vine gains two credits. The other two podium finishers Schmid and Sweeny , as well as points jersey winner Andresen , also achieved the same plus.
Always +2 also for Raccagni Noviero , Kron, Brenner and Charmig who place themselves in the top ten.
Lots of outsiders who scored important points and deserved the +1: Urianstad, Zana , Watson, Sobrero and the sprinters Welsford and Vernon , winners of one stage each.
The most disappointing was Van Eetvelt who retired after 3 stages and took -2.
Adam Yates , Plapp, Narvaez , Buitrago, Strong, Velasco and Romo also disappoint: they all drop by 1 fantasy million.
Ben O'Connor, however, is saved from the minus.
