The latest World Tour rankings sees Ireland move up to 12th position in the Nations rankings thanks to Dan Martin’s stage win and third place overall at the Volta a Catalunya.
Martin managed to overtake Richie Porte (BMC Racing) to take the final podium position after battling for bonus seconds in the final few stages of the race. This along with his victory on the 3rd stage of the race earned the Etixx-Quick Step rider 76 World Tour points.
These results moves him up to 15th in the Individual Rankings and his points push Ireland into 12th place with Martin the sole Irish points scorer to-date.
Following his win in Gent-Wevelgem, Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) takes over the lead in the individual rankings from previous leader Porte.
Australia continue to lead the Nations rankings from Belgium with Great Britain in third place. Tinkoff lead the team rankings with a narrow lead over Team Sky and BMC Racing.
