Sven Nys remains atop the men's UCI cyclo-cross rankings for the fifth consecutive points update,𒁃 a position he's maintained since December 2, 2008. The only cyclo-cross racing which took place since the 𒈔previous week's points ranking was the weekend of European national championships and the minor changes in position can be attributed to a rider's success in pursuing a national title.

Lars Boom moved into fifth place ahead of Belgian Niels Albert, who dropped one place to sixth since the previous ranking. Thijs Al moved into seventh ahead of Klaas Vantornout based on the points disparity of their respective second place and DNF finishes in the Dutch and Belgian 'cross championships.
