With the cut off point on August 15th there is still time for it to change, but from a british point of view we currently have 460 points with our nearest challengers for a full quota of 9 riders being Switzerland who currently sit in 11th place in the rankings with 360 points. For those who dont know how the ranking system works, the top 10 nations in the UCI Rankings as of 15th August are allowed a full squad of 9 riders, those outside the top 10 are allowed race squads relevant to where they finish on each of the other rankings lists (Very complicated to explain).
