Presumably GBR are going to have to pull up a few trees to sneak in in the Team pursuit...

I think I ran the numbers after the world champs and I don't think that GB's position is as bad as the performance director made out at the time. 

 

 are currently 150 points behind  and just over 500 points behind 

 

 are pretty much guaranteed to take a top 2 finish in the Asian champs so will pick up at least an additional 810 points. 

 

 will probably put out their strongest team in the Europeans in January and if they don't take top spot, should be able to pick up a top 3 position to get at least 720 points.  

 

Personally, I don't see  making the medal matches in the Euros but I do expect them to finish within 5-8 - in line with their 2023 performance.  

 

When it comes to the Nations Cup, if  can be in the medals in both Adelaide and Hong Kong, then they wont need to send their best team to the final event in Milton.  recorded a 10th and 7th for the Nations Cups in 2023 whilst  had 2 6th place finishes and if the 2023 results are replicated next year, GB would comfortably overtake both Belgium and China. 

 

My gut feeling at the moment is that  will be able to finish ahead of both  and  and could end up being ranked either 7th or 8th in the final list. If I had to make a call now, I would say that  will miss out on qualification.
