RANKING MEN
(google translate)The UCI ranking is very important because it determines the starting positions of the athletes. In the races of today, more and more technical and winding, the starting position is crucial to complete a good race. At the top of women's rankings we notice many changes, such as the entry into the top10 of the 1st Race winner Daniel McConnell, who will now be from the second row, directly behind the best. To signal the release of Julien Absalon of the top 10 who is now in 12th place, it did not happen very often see Julien Absalon not on the front row.
Litscher Thomas, 9th in the 1st stage, made a significant leap forward from the 38th to the 22nd position. Other big changes there are with Miguel Martinez who earns thirty positions but still finds himself struggling with a lot of traffic.

RANKING WOMEN
In the female ranking the big change that should be considered is related to Vos Marianne, who in one week (thanks to Albstadt 11th place), he gains 40 positions, and is now at 64th place which will allow him to leave with a number halved compared to the first test. Don't start in the first positions but not in the back of the group.
Eva Lechner earns 1st row (8th place), while Maja Wloszowska, which in the first stage has been a little traffic from lap 1, earns 4 positions and are in 29th place.
