The World Series of Bicycling's Rider of the Year standings have been updated to include the results from last week's Fastest Man on Wheels.

In the men's standings, Doug Repacholi (AUS) makes a surprise surge to tie reigning Rider of the Year, Pete Fitzpatrick (AUS) for third place in the '08 standings, both with 215 points. While not scoring points in last week's event, Shane Kline (USA) still holds onto second place with 240, only 35 points behind American Bobby Lea's (USA) 275. With Lea at the Olympic Games and unable to defend his position, it looks like Kline, Fitzpatrick, and Repacholi will battle it out over the remaining two events to claim the overall title in 2008.

MEN'S STANDINGS

On the women's side, Aussie Laura McCaughey (AUS) with 300 points holds a slim 40-point lead over fellow Australian Michaela Anderson (AUS). However, McCaughey has been absent racing on the road and Anderson has since returned to Australia. With two events left, Veronica Martinez (ARG) is poised to inherit the lead should she bring home a couple of good results as she currently has 250 points. However, hot on her heals in fourth place is Liz Carlson (USA) with 230 points.
