With three out of ten WorldTour wins so far this season, it's no surprise that Tinkoff is out in front on the team standings. Sky's position in second remains unchanged but they picked up a bag of points thanks to Stannard and Sergio Henao after his second place finish in Pais Vasco and now have 622 points. There is no change to the top five with BMC, FDJ and Katusha adding to their tally without moving up or down.
Team Giant-Alpecin remain rooted to the bottom of the team standings on 10 points.
Having briefly lost its lead to Spain, Australia takes back it spot on top of the nation standings with 579 points but with Belgium just two points in arrears, it's a close contest. Spain (470) and Colombia (416) are the only two nations to have scored more than 400 points with 28 nations in total scoring points. Latvia enters the charts in 22nd place after national champion Aleksejs Saramotins finished eighth at Paris-Roubaix for IAM Cycling.
