Izagirre brothers fall on WorldTour rankings

Gorka and Ion Izagirre have both taken a tumble on the UCI's WorldTour standings in the wake of Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico.

The brothers were top 10 early on in the year after finishing fourth and seventh overall at the Tour Down Under, but less successful appearances in France recently have seen to it that they've both dropped down the list.

Ion Izagirre now finds himself in 12th on 61 points, while his older brother is 20th with 32 after picking up a few points for third place on stage three in Paris-Nice.

Courtesy of his fifth place on stage six of Tirreno-Adriatico, Samuel Sánchez debuts on the ranking in 57th place with one solitary point.

As for the team rankings, Euskaltel are now ninth.
