WorldTour rankings

After the conclusion of Catalunya and Wevelgem, the UCI updated the WorldTour rankings. Individually, Samu still has 59 points and is now placed 23rd. Rubén Pérez took his first points of the year after placing third on a stage in Catalunya and is 66th with two points. As Samu and Pérez are the only Euskaltel riders with points so far, it goes without saying the team is lagging behind in the team rankings. Of the 18 teams, Euskaltel are 15th, only ahead of Katusha, Vacansoleil and Astana. If everything goes to plan, the team, and Samu in particular, will accumulate quite a few points in País Vasco, so hopefully the rankings will make for better reading next time around.
