Even the Hong Kong Cycling Federation and the local press there believed that Hong Kong had missed out on both Madison qualifications!!

South China Morning Post now has it that both their Madison teams have qualified. It looks to me that Ireland hadnt their sums done correctly on Sunday when declaring they had qualified. Very hard on Downey and English. How disappointed must they be today?

 

Not sure how the Ukrainian women are feelling as Hong Kong had 800 points added to their total based on the 2019 World Championships!!

That's the point. *Their* sums weren't wrong. They used the points that the UCI told them each team had. So it was the UCI's error, not Ireland's or Ukraine's 

 

The South China Morning Post are only reporting on the numbers. There's been nothing official from the UCI

UCI have changed the rankings for men's madison. Ireland now above Honk Kong and into the last qualifying spot

 

They haven't changed the women's rankings

I think UCI have to inform the NOCs by Monday of their quota allocation. Fingers crossed no more changes.

Looks like Ireland are confirmed as qualifying in the Mens Madison. Tough on Hong Kong but am delighted for our lads.
