Even though Kent Farrington (USA) broke his leg in the middle of February, and hasn’t been able to compete since, he manages to hold on to the top position on the Longines Ranking for the 12th consecutive month. But it is closing in on top of the list with Harrie Smolders (NED) being only five points behind Farrington, breathing the American rider in the neck. Peder Fredricson (SWE) has climbed up to rank three after being fifth last month, while Kevin Staut (FRA) holds on to rank four. Simon Delestre (FRA) is the new rank five, after being no. nine last month. Henrik von Eckermann (SWE) is still number six and Lorenzo De Luca (ITA) stays put as no. seven. McLain Ward (USA) falls down from rank three to eight, while Steve Guerdat (SUI) drops one spot to no. nine. Alberto Zorzi (ITA) makes it into the top ten after being rank thirteen last month, a great achievement for the Italian rider.
