I wonder if France will ever be beaten in these rankings! Traditional European powerhouses occupy the rest of the Top 5, with Colombia, USA and Australia following closely.!
A reminder that these rankings at the end of August will be used to determine the qualification of nations into the World Championships Road Race.

Abbreviations meaning CpR - Coefficient per Rider
Please note that only contracted riders have been considered for the above nations rankings.
There was a mistake in the excel sheet. The rankings are updated now. Sorry jandal
Thanks for this Abhi! I love statistics so i digged a bit deeper into it and also compared it a bit with IRL Ranking from procyclingstats to see which ones are the standout nations in MG compared to the real world cycling :

Of course there are a lot of Nations that dont really have any powerful riders IRL but have some here. First ones standing out with a lot more of quality and also quantity you find among the Top 25, Greece. Also Finland (i am surprised they are so weak IRL) gained a lot. And then of course all the Nations that are not even ranked on PCS like Sri Lanka, San Marino and so on.
So what about the other way arround? Nations that are stronger in real world cycling but are poor in MG. Uruguay lost the most "ranks". Surprisingly there are some small caribic nations and so that are better IRL but i guess because there is so much of them the distribution is a bit off (also Podium Ambition doesnt have their best year ).
The first bigger name might be Ecuador which are actually quite powerful. From the bets ones its actually Spain who underperforms a little.
Indeed after the prime years of Madrazo and Tenorio Spain have gotten significantly worse that they probably should be. A lot is probably also because of a guy like Ayuso who is yet to develop at MG.
Ecuador have two good riders IRL if I’m not mistaken, and their MG counterparts are both pretty uninterrsting.
I’m happy to see Greece up så high though, even if it is obviously unrealistic.
Germany up high mainly because of Herklotz I suspect.

Ok cool, time for my backup plan of protesting for a return to the old methods

Seems like we have hovered around that 3rd - 4th place for years. Will we ever really hit the top or will we stay there before dropping down once we need to do a proper rebuild at some point?

Latvia on the edge of making the A World. Maybe time for Krasts to make a 10 minute winning break in the Tour?
