PREVIOUSLY A 4-TIME Ranker in the 5–8 range, Álvaro Martín moved up to No. 1 with his WC win. His world-leading time moved him to No. 12 on the all-time list…

THE SPANIARD WASN’T INVINCIBLE, however, losing the loaded La Coruña race on home soil to Caio Bonfim. The busy Brazilian raced 7 times, with 5 of them sub-1:20s. On the strength of his win over Martín, Bonfim reverses places with Perseus Karlström, who beat him in Budapest. The Swede was also busy, with 5 sub-1:20s of his own…

THE U.S. HASN’T HAD a Ranker here since Ron Laird’s No. 4 in ’73. Nick Christie continues to be the best of the current bunch, earning his fifth straight U.S. leadership.
