UCI rankings steady

The latest round of the UCI's cyclo-cross rankings was little changed after a weekend of National Championships. Sven Nys extended his lead in the men's rankings, and now leads by a whopping 605 points over the deposed Belgian champion Bart Wellens. Klaas Vantornout remains in third, just 86 points ahead of Dutch Champion Lars Boom. Zdenek Stybar, the new Czech Champion, is in fifth with 1315 points.

In the women's rankings, Dutch woman Daphny van den Brand remained in first despite being beaten out for the Dutch Championship by Mirjam Melchers van Poppel. Van den Brand leads by a large margin, 595 points ahead of American Katie Compton. Van den Brand's teammate Reza Hormes-Ravenstijn is sitting in a close third, just four points clear of reigning World Champion Maryline Salvetat.
