New UCI WorldTour riders' ranking - Pogacar drops points as Isaac del Toro takes big jump at Evenepoel's expense
Cycling
Tadej Pogacar continues to lead the UCI WorldTour Ranking with authority, although his advantage narrowed this week after skipping the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
The Slovenian surrendered part of the points he was defending in this same week of the calendar, as in 2025 he had won the French race when it was still held under the Critérium du Dauphiné name. Even so, he retains first place with 10,865 points, holding a sizeable gap over Jonas Vingegaard, second on 8,625.1.
The main move at the sharp end of the ranking comes from Isaac del Toro. The Mexican confirmed his superb form with an outstanding display in the French round, where he claimed two stages and the overall. That haul lifts him back onto the podium in third with 5,339.7 points. Even so, the gap to Pogacar and Vingegaard remains significant, a reflection of the consistency both have shown across the past 12 months.
Del Toro’s rise triggers Remco Evenepoel’s slip to fourth. The Belgian skipped the French race and stays on 5,277.9 points, now sitting behind the UAE Team Emirates - XRG rider.

Seixas remains in seventh place
For his part, Paul Seixas holds seventh in the world ranking despite abandoning the race, underlining how the young Frenchman’s excellent start to the season still anchors his place among the elite.
Wout van Aert climbs one place up to eleventh overall despite his Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes abandon and potential Tour de France setback. The Belgian's win on stage 5 was enough to gain him some valuable points. The week's big climber at the front is Jasper Philipsen. He took victory in the Copenhagen Sprint, enough to push him up to eight in the rankings.
Juan Ayuso enters the top 50. His podium at the Tour Auvergne Rhône-Alpes lifts him to 43rd on 1,544.8 points. Right behind is Ion Izagirre, 44th with 1,519.3, rounding out Spanish representation among the top fifty riders in the ranking.

- i dont think he is ready ot win against the top 2 or the 2nd rung of evenepoel, del toro , Almeida. In the third week in the TDF he was very very defensive, no attacks. i think he was exhausted. right now he needs time not the brutal Giro or the intense TDF.abstractengineer04-11-2026

- his Roubaix win was amazing. not to take anything away from him - arguably one of MVDP's wins was at the expense of a WVA flat - but so many things need to line up to get one of these.
