The Longines Global Champions Tour has a new ranking after the Grand Prix of Cannes, but one constant remains: Simon Delestre is still at the top. The Frenchman leads the standings with 118.67 points, but the gap with his pursuers is narrow enough to keep the title race completely open.
Simon Delestre (FRA) can currently call himself the strongest rider of the LGCT season. With 118.67 points he sits firmly in the lead, though his advantage over number two Katrin Eckermann (GER) is limited to just over fourteen points. The German rider is on 104 points and will undoubtedly seize her chances in St. Tropez to close the gap.
The biggest shift in the standings comes from Abdel Said. The winner of the LGCT Grand Prix of Cannes shot up to third place thanks to his victory, with exactly 100 points.
Further down the standings, Cian O'Connor (IRL) follows in fourth place with 85 points, and Zoe Hank Conter representing Belgian colours sits fifth with 84 points.
The current standings thus remain tight at the top. Only 34.67 points separate the five best riders, while ten rounds are still on the calendar. That means every victory, every clear round and every strategic decision at the highest level can turn the standings upside down. Next weekend in St. Tropez, the LGCT field will get an immediate chance to shake up the rankings once again.
