The big set piece event in May for the men's tour is the Giro D'Italia which starts at the weekend so thought it may be interesting to look at the potential impact the race will have on the rankings. 

 

Nation Points Defending Adjusted Points
:BEL 19,608.59 0 19,608.59
:FRA

12,771.14

560 12,211.14
:DEN 12,087.89 52 12,035.89
:ESP 11,098.64 987 10,111.64
:SLO 10,935.36 60 10,875.36
:GBR 10,484.51 564 9,920.51
:NED 9,674.62 488 9,186.62
:ITA 8,962.19 272 8690.19
:AUS 8,316.06 1,074 7,242.06

The table shows that both Australia and Spain will be defending significant points totals in the Giro.

 

Based on the provisional entry list, the prospects for each nation look varied

 

Belgium - Remco Evenpoel should be well placed to extend Belgium's lead at the top of the rankings.

 

France - None of the ranking French riders look like they are taking part.

 

Denmark - Both Mads Pedersen and Magnus Cort Nielsen are on the start list and, in the absence of French riders, they will have a good opportunity to move up to 2nd in the rankings.

 

Spain - Like France, none of the ranking Spanish riders appear on the start list and with strong teams from both Slovenia and Great Britain in the race, Spain could frop to 6th in the rankings

 

Slovenia - Primoz Roglic and Jan Tratnik should be able to do enough to elevate Slovenia above Spain.

 

Great Britain - Half of our ranking riders are on the start list - Hugh Carthy, Mark Cavendish, Tao Geoghegan Hart and Geraint Thomas. Both Carthy and Geoghegan Hart are in pretty good form so collectively there is a good chance that GBR could overtake Spain and move into 5th place in the rankings.

 

Netherlands - Thymen Arensman and Bauke Mollema would need to have a stellar event to move up the rankings, but will be looking to close the gap on the higher ranked nations.

 

Italy - Unsurprisingly, half of Italy's ranking riders are taking part in the Giro and they will be hoping to close the gap on the Netherlands.

 

Australia - Jai Hindley was the 2022 champion but is not defending the title so it is down to Simon Clarke, Jay Vine and Michael Matthews to fly the Aussie flag but they may struggle and ultimately there's a good chance that Australia will drop below Colombia in the rankings.

Just in case anyone didn’t know, Pro Cycling Stats keep track of the rankings from the Olympic period

So the points from last year are already discarded etc. better than the UCI 12 month ranks IMO

That's cool, I don't know why UCI doesn't make a separate Olympic Ranking, visually it would be better.

 

But, there is a mistake there. They are giving a quota to :RSA in TT, but it should go to :THA instead.

The rankings that only include the correct timeframe have the same top 5 but in different order. GB are now 3rd ahead of Slovenia and Denmark. 
 

Australia are 8th ahead of Spain. The USA move into top 10 ahead of Colombia 

 

Ecuador are now 21st but with Carapaz back to winning action, they may leap ahead of Austria in 20th or Eritrea in 19th soon

    • well, here you have it.   this time is extra especial because this happened at the same night as champion league matches of two main Portuguese football clubs, so was not expecting this cover at all.         and they even made it to the national general newspapers:    
    • Yesterday results:  VS  33-21,  team continued their unbeaten record (35 game without losing in WCh since 2017) the game started for  and score reached 10-3 after 15 min, better performance from  team led to closing the gap to 15-12 by half time, the 2nd half had a margin favor for  till minute 40 when the Danish team start scoring 8 consecutive goals without response, 12 minutes until Brazil scored again, during that blackout time  GK Martins did really well but his team mates were not able to break the great wall of Nielsen. hard luck for  and wish they continue such great performance in next tournaments.     VS  31-30, the most improved and best performer so far  (except  for sure) had a great night yesterday. to get the summary of the game,  were playing  GK Wolff who made 21 saves in the game !! 21 !!! I believe at least 17-18 of them were one on one. on the other hand both  GKs did well saving 12 shots (Marques saved 7 while Capdeville saved 5). the game  started with  leading till end of first hal 13-9 ..  in second half ..ah ..sorry ..I will say Wolff not   ...Wolff in 2nd half managed to close the gap and even lead by 2 goals, but Portela and Francisco Costa were able to finish the time draw 26-26. the extra time started with  heading again thanks to :Francisco Costa and  Martim Costa .. Knorr and Zerbe managed to draw for the team Wolff ... but 4 seconds before the end Martim Costa scored the golden goal to secure the first ever  semifinal spot in a well deserved game with huge frustration from Wolff against his team mates.   in 2019  U21 team finished 4th in WCh ( finished 3rd in the same tournament) in the same year  U 19 team finished 4th too in Wch ( won that tournament) now  in the semi final with amazing performance and mix of mostly young players and few experienced.   Semi Final Games:   30th of Jan    VS   31st of Jan    VS        
    • I know that. I was just wondering if any users on here have been keeping track of quotas since FIS likely won't make the qualification points list public until spring at the earliest.    And judging by the lack of replies on here, it would seem like the answer is no unsurprisingly
