The 2025 season saw INEOS Grenadiers finish the year as the eighth best team in the UCI rankings for the year, whilst being fifth in the 2023-2025 UCI rankings that decided the promotions and relegations. Overall, a poor result for a team with a budget of around €50 million a year, perhaps only surpassed by UAE Team Emirates - XRG. But amongst those who scored UCI points, who did the most?
That was Filippo Ganna, who enjoyed a tremendously impressive spring, and scored enough points to hold off his teammates in this list. Ganna finished second at a Tirreno-Adriatico where he looked to be in the form of his life, only beaten by Juan Ayuso; and then he also finished second at Milano-Sanremo, finishing between Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogacar in the final sprint. In these two races alone, he scored over 1000 points, almost half of his 2152 which he had at the end of the year. His performances in the spring classics with a third place at the E3 Saxo Classic and eighth at the Tour of Flanders added to it; and and the stage win at the Vuelta a España was another highlight, adding 180 points to his tally.
Egan Bernal was the second best rider, perhaps a surprise. 1742 points in total, as the Colombian finished seventh at the Giro d'Italia as his biggest contributing factor. Seventh at the Volta a Catalunya, sixth at the Vuelta a Burgos, eighth at Il Lombardia, fourth at the Giro dell'Emilia and his stage win at the Vuelta a España were his other main sources of points during 2025.
In third place was Thymen Arensman, unsurprisingly due to the strong season he had. The absolute highlight of course were his two wins at the Tour de France, each being worth 210 UCI points. But the Dutchman did achieve other strong results throughout the year including a third place at Paris-Nice and second at the Tour of the Alps; as well as a fourth place at the Volta a Comunitat Valenciana and 12th at the Tour de France which contributed significantly towards his tally.

A founding contributor to CyclingUpToDate since its launch in January 2022, Ruben Silva has played a central role in shaping the site’s editorial direction and long-term growth. Before joining the project, he built his experience through independent blogging at Echelons Hub and by producing race previews for Ciclismo Internacional, developing a strong analytical voice rooted in daily engagement with professional cycling.
Beyond editorial work, he has been closely involved in the expansion and coordination of CyclingUpToDate’s wider network, helping establish and support sister platforms across multiple languages. This includes ongoing collaboration with CiclismoAlDia (Spanish), CiclismoAtual (Portuguese), WielrennenUpToDate (Dutch), and RadsportAktuell (German), contributing to a shared editorial vision and consistent international coverage.
He also helps oversee editorial governance across the network, setting standards for accuracy and consistency and coordinating updates or corrections when needed.

His interviews include leading riders, team managers, and prominent figures within cycling media: Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard, Mathieu van der Poel, Primoz Roglic, Wout van Aert, Joao Almeida and Tom Pidcock; managers like Patrick Lefevere and Joxean Matxin; and YouTube personality Bryan Kennedy (BKXC)...
Within 18 months of launch, he helped grow CyclingUpToDate’s English-language platform into one of the most-read cycling news websites, built entirely from the ground up. As both a professional journalist and lifelong cycling enthusiast, his focus remains on delivering accurate, timely, and well-contextualized coverage.

- Makes sense that training from home is a big asset or advantage but it's still remarkable that he can put in three quality majors and not pay some heavy price for the exertion. I wish he would have won that tour stage that his crash while leading allowed Carapaz the win. He's a darn good rider and teammate.flyer14-11-2026
- Sounds like we all agree with the over under exaggeration: "The German’s signing does not guarantee that Evenepoel will win the Tour in 2027. "flyer14-11-2026
- Seixas appears to be that good but if he isn't (an absolute rival to Pogacar) he would have plenty of company in rising stars that did not go on to fully meet the expectations of many. That Pogacar wasn't the greatest (as great) sooner can't be transposed onto another's development. It may be not that simple.flyer14-11-2026
- I agree that, for Evenepoel, the Euro championship is overshadowed by the slightly off Lombardia and Worlds. However, I disagree that "Ciccone also made a serious mistake at the European Championships" because I don't think he had a win in the bag although he could have won with a perfect bike throw. Guesswork about the finish is not evidence by me for some serious mistake. Sometimes you just barely lose - although Ciccone's sourpuss about it persona was serious.flyer14-11-2026
- I bet you photobombed the video since you are his shadow!frieders314-11-2026
- Skipping the 2027 TDF would be fine in my opinion, and if so, it further reveals that him racing it in 2026 was a good decision. Seixas speaks confident, almost cocky, these days (not meant to be a criticism) and I find it a tad humorous that people (rather commentators) continually chide and advise on how Decathlon should direct and manage Seixas when Paul seems to be calling all his shots since well before this year's TDF.flyer14-11-2026
- Well I just watched this and I thought it was great! If you’re a Pogi fan, like me, you’ll enjoy it. Even if you’re not necessarily a Pogi fan I still recommend it. There’s plenty of new stuff I didn’t know about and I’m a Pogi-maniac! Nice interviews with Pogi & Matteo Trentin too.Lozza14-11-2026
