Scott Brash keeps his spot as world no.1

British rider Scott Brash has been busy making history this year, including becoming the first rider to win the coveted Rolex Grand Slam title, as a result he has been ranked number one on the Longines World Rankings for the majority of the year. Brash is sitting pretty on top of the ranking with 3000 points. In second position is American rider Beezie Madden, who jumps up from third position. Dropping down into third place is German rider Daniel Deusser, who has held his spot in the top three for quite some time now.

Completing the top five is Gregory Wathelet (BEL) and McLain Ward (USA), who have moved up from tenth and ninth place respectively.

German rider Ludger Beerbaum now holds the tenth spot after dropping down from fourth place.

Making her return to the Top Ten is French rider Penelope Leprevost, after she rose two positions from eleventh to ninth place.

Three riders are, however, breathing down the necks of those in the Top Ten. Rolf Goran Bengtsson (SWE), Luciana Diniz (POR) and Christian Ahlmann (GER) have all jumped up in the rankings and with a few good results should be in the Top Ten in no time.
