British riders Luke Rowe (Sky) and Simon Yates (Orica-GreenEdge) have entered the 2015 UCI WorldTour ranking after both riders enjoyed top 10 success at the weekend.
Rowe placed a highly-creditable eighth place in Paris-Roubaix in France on Sunday, widely recognised as one of the toughest single-day races on the calendar. Rowe came home just behind the lead group containing race winner John Degenkolb (Giant-Alpecin) and enters the ranking in 52nd spot.
