With less than two weeks to go until Crankworx, which is the first "diamond" level event of 2011, it's a good time to check in on the overall Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour rankings.
Following the Claymore Challenge, Yannick Granieri held the lead over Sam Pilgrim and Brandon Semenuk. Chatel Mountain Style stirred things up a little bit, and now Brandon Semenuk is in the lead, followed closely by Sam Pilgrim and Yannick Granieri. Last year's World Champion, Cam Zink, has also returned to the top ten thanks to his win at Chatel.
Each rider’s best four results at the different FMB World Tour competitions count for the overall ranking, so we'll likely see some changes as the season progresses, especially with two diamond level events in the mix.
As of July 5, 2011, the standings look like this:
