Christine Majerus won yesterday and placed second today in races in France. That gives Luxembourg 140 points and that should be enough to qualify more than one rider for them.

 

Meanwhile, Daiva Tuslaite finished 4th today and got 35 points. Looks like she caught the last train for Rio as she now has 98 points, what is likely going to be enough.

 ... Current level of our ladies is simply unacceptable

According to my calculations, this is how final standings and quota for Women Road should look:

 

Rank	Nation	Points	Quotas
1	Netherlands	3414.00	4
2	United States	2778.00	4
3	Italy	2141.25	4
4	Australia	1710.50	4
5	Germany	1615.75	4
6	Poland	1501.50	3
7	Sweden	1474.50	3
8	Great Britain	1472.25	3
9	Canada	1187.50	3
10	Belgium	1080.00	3
11	France	971.00	3
12	South Africa	849.50	2
13	Luxembourg	732.25	2
14	Russia	583.00	1
15	Belarus	539.25	1
16	Ukraine	538.00	1
17	Finland	490.00	1
18	New Zealand	439.50	1
19	Cuba	436.00	1
20	Mexico	377.00	1
21	Switzerland	367.50	1
22	Spain	349.00	1

 

Qualifying through individual rankings:

 

41	Ting Ying HUANG	Chinese Taipei	275.00
59	Emilie MOBERG	Norway	173.50
69	Olena PAVLUKHINA	Azerbaijan	143.00
75	Jutatip MANEEPHAN	Thailand	132.00
76	Martina RITTER	Austria	131.00
84	Polona BATAGELJ	Slovenia	115.00
87	Daiva TUSLAITE	Lithuania	110.00
89	Antri CHRISTOFOROU	Cyprus	109.00
90	Shani BLOCH	Israel	109.00
94	Mayuko HAGIWARA	Japan	103.00
97	Paola MUNOZ	Chile	92.00

 

Places from continental championships go to Namibia (Africa), Venezuela (America) and South Korea (Asia). Brazil will use the host quota places.

 

Good job by Lithuania this past weekend earning one quota, but at the same time so sad Denmark and Costa Rica fell short of qualifying by 1.50 and 2.50 points in the end

There are also few reallocations in women's time trial. Russia and Belarus lose one of their time trial quotas because they qualified only one rider. Czech Republic loses its quota after failing to qualify in road race.

 

Ukraine, Sweden and Japan receive those reallocations. Next in line for possible reallocations are Poland, Luxembourg, France and Switzerland.

Final rankings are out. It's the same as mrv wrote, except that UKR finished ahead of BLR (although that doesn't change anything).

 

Denmark, Costa Rica and Hong Kong just missed out on qualification.

But yet again, UCI seems to not know its qualifying rules as in their document they are awarding a quota to Colombia

Makes no sense whatsoever. Who knows, maybe that's how Puerto Rico got its quota in men's road race, by mistake!

Seems like the only explanation... don't forget in the document for track cycling they gave another spot to Colombia, which chould have been given to the Czechs.

I think I figured it out. Brazil qualified an athlete by having someone in the top 100. The reallocation of host quota goes to the highest ranked nation without a quota which is Colombia.

But Brazil has 2 quotas on the list; I don't know what mess they did again, taking one spot away from France.

That also explains the mystery about Puerto Rico's qualification in the men's road race! Puerto Rico was the highest ranked unqualified nation in the American tour (though only in 12th position).

 

This should mean that UCI is applying the reallocation of the host quotas at the end of the process, meaning that Indonesia qualified in men's BMX instead of Chile.
