World Cup Standings

Paolo Bettini increases his lead in the World Cup with his third place in Zurich. An interesting possibility with Ullrich's second place (his fourth time second!) - Ullrich had said that if he won Zurich he probably would end his season, and not come to the Worlds in Hamilton. Now that he didn't win in Zurich, it looks considerably more hopeful for his appearance in Hamilton.
