And that's LBL decided with 30k to go  

[Rafa Maciel 1,658]

A pretty good week overall for team GB cyclists with Pidcock taking second on the Liege-Bastogne-Liege today and Geoghegan Hart winning the Tour of the Alps. 

 

This should result in a big swing towards GB in the rankings - not sure it will be enough for them to overtake Netherlands but should slash the deficit from 1,000 points to a couple of hundred.

That hedge was somebody’s pride & joy!  Not easy to get them as thick as that.

There is a nations ranking?  

 

Damn, I've been an avid follower of cycling since I could walk, but didn't know this

Also second win of the year in a Young Riders’ overall - David Poole - a new name to me.  Lukas Nerurkar also got one, the Valenciana I think.
