Following on from his third placed finish at Fleche Wallonne on Wednesday, Dan Martin (Etixx-Quick Step) has moved into tenth place in the UCI World Tour rankings.

Martin gained 50 points from his third place and with the 76 points he gathered at Volta a Ciclista a Catalunya, he has moved from 21st place to 10th.

Next up for Martin is Liège–Bastogne–Liège on Sunday. The Irishman won the race in 2013, and came close to repeating the win in 2014, only to crash out on the last corner.

Australia leads the Nations rankings with Richie Porte, Simon Gerrans and Mathew Haymans accounting for the bulk of their points. Belgium are in second place with Spain in third. To-date, Martin is the only Irish point scorer and this leaves them in 12th place, just ahead of Italy and Poland.

Peter Sagan continues to lead the rankings with 329 points, with his Tinkoff team-mate Alberto Contador in second place. Tinkoff lead the team rankings ahead of Team Sky and BMC Racing followed by Etixx-Quick Step and Movistar.
