Exactly. McEwen has the highest amount of points of any rider announced so far although that may change depending on where Gerrans finishes in the World Tour ranking. It must be an incredibly tense time for the teams who are borderline top 15 in the overall team ranking for a world tour spot. One signing or even one performance by an existing rider between now and the end of the season can make all the difference.
