Olympic ranks in women's pursuit after 2023 Euros and two WC events:

 

1  1880

2  1530

3  1520

4  1475

5  1405

6  1337.5

7  1000

8  880

9  871.5

10  630

11  600

12  560

 

No continental championships so far for the non-Europeans. Poland, Switzerland and Australia have only competed in one of the Nations Cup events. Long way to go with next year's results being included too but already it looks like the top 8 here and Australia should qualify.

Should be the 8 from Tokyo + Ireland and Japan.

Had a quick look at the Milton line-up - looks like the big showdowns are going to be in women's distance this weekend, lots of strong teams being fielded.

Not loving the look of either of the  Team Sprint squads - could be a really low scoring stop for us unfortunately.

I'm sure that the work is done though, so it's about squad building.

Livestream for the Milton  evening sessions, so mostly overnight in Europe.  Actually starts tomorrow, although there are Qual & ranking races tonight.

Happy to admit it looks like I was wrong!! 

 

 Men's sprint team to race for Bronze whilst the women take 4th. Not forgetting both pursuit teams taking home golds so at the end of the Nations Cup, Team GB still looking pretty good for a full squad for Paris. (although would still advocate wrapping Katie Archibald in bubble wrap until she steps foot on the plane)

Gold for Mexico in women’s Team Sprint

really disappointing result for the Italian women's team pursuit...with those girls, I expected a lot more.

 

good second place for the men without Ganna and Milan.

Still got the problem of Katie ripping the legs off the rest of the team though.
