Lutsenko deserves a statue outside the cycling federation. He was on fire :cycling:

Interestingly, someone seems to have updated the Wikipedia page for road cycling qualification even though UCI haven't officially released the final rankings. Unfortunately, they seem to have used the Pro Cycling Stats data which is incorrect for the women's rankings. France will not finish ahead of Switzerland.

I perhaps should explain a little more as I know there are a lot of users who are big fans of the Pro Cycling Stats data. The reason I say it is wrong on the women's side is because the PCS bases its ranking on the performance of the top 8 riders per nationality:

Whilst this is correct for the men's rankings, for the women's rankings, the UCI only counts the points of the top 5 riders per country:

So basically, PCS is consistently reporting higher ranking totals for each nation than we will see when using the official UCI rankings. Often that doesn't make a huge amount of difference, but in this instance it is giving misleading impression of where France will finish.

Yeah. They messed up the women’s rankings by using the same criteria as the men. They also missed a couple of nationality transfers too.

On Wikipedia someone posted the reallocated places in the Pan-American championship for :CRC and :GUA , but :URU and :BRA were the two better countries that didn't get a place via ranking and came ahead of those two in this championship!

It's a mistake on the part of whoever edited it, right?
