Don't even have the top-10 to report, but Scotland's Steph Forrester has pulled off an incredible upset in beating Emma Carney in the ITU Points Race on Sunday at Geelong, Victoria, Australia. Apparently she surged with 2.5k left on the run to beat Carney by eight seconds at the finish.

She picks up 375 coveted ITU points, raising her ITU ranking from No. 27 to No. 24. Many things will shuffle and change between now and May 2, the day the ITU decides which countries get how many slots in the Olympics. But if Steph can just stay in the top-25, she would be all set for Sydney as an automatic selection (along with Sian Brice, assuming she also holds her place in the top-25).
