# 2002 UCI Road World Cup

The 2002 UCI Road World Cup was the fourteenth edition of the UCI Road World Cup. It had the same calendar of the 2001 edition.
After the Milan-Sanremo win by Mario Cipollini, who keep the lead after the Tour of Flanders, Johan Museeuw take the lead with Tour of Flanders second place and Paris-Roubaix win. Paolo Bettini with the Liège–Bastogne–Liège win and with a top ten in the Amstel Gold Race keep his position not far from Museeuw after the first five spring races.
With the win in Hamburg at HEW Cyclassics, with a very long sprint, Museeuw take a good margin on Bettini but the italian was very regular and with three top-ten finishes in the summer races (second in Zurich) took the lead by only two points.
Paris-Tours seems more favourable for the fast Museeuw but he took no points, while Bettini finished 19th taking other 7 points.
The Giro di Lombardia was too hard for Museeuw who didn't start the race giving the World Cup win to Bettini who finish low in the race. Michele Bartoli won the race and clinched the final spot in the World Cup podium along the winner Bettini and Museeuw, who take the fifth and final World Cup podium, a record for the competition.
