Polish cycling website says it's Poland. But honestly, I don't know if it's accurate.

Yes, I know.

Maybe they can give it to them both. Think Iwa Swoboda and Dina Asher-Smith 100m world 2023.

According to todays rankings on UCI.ch, GBR have kept 5th place by a bawhair. UCI itself published this so I'm assuming they haven't screwed up...

 

EDIT : Seems I assumed wrong.

Oh come on!! I come back from dinner to discover UCI have published a new set of rankings  It really shouldn't be that difficult for them to keep a running total of the points.

 

From what I can see,  seem to have been awarded an additional 27 points which was enough to take them ahead of  - unfortunately the links to the historic rankings aren't working so I can't see which rider has had the additional points awarded.

 

None of the ranking riders for GB were in action this week so I assume this difference is down to the same issue that saw Dominika Wlodarczyk gain 36 points without racing. 

 

Hopefully UCI will be pretty quick to issue something official to clarify who has won what, but worst-case scenario, we may have to wait until 17th November before the picture becomes clear

To muddy the waters still further, Olympics.com are going with the original rankings list which had  ahead of  on the women's side.
