UCI Rankings Rider Update: Tadej Pogacar extends his lead after Tour de Suisse win as Tom Pidcock climbs up the ranks

The new 2026 UCI WorldTour Ranking lands after a week shaped by the Tour de Suisse, where Tadej Pogacar took victory, tightening his grip on the world standings and extending his lead over second-placed Jonas Vingegaard. With stage races in full swing and the Tour de France on the horizon, the top 10 remains stable at the sharp end, though a few notable shifts emerge.

In the fight for the overall podium, Isaac del Toro holds third, consolidating his rise among the elite, while Remco Evenepoel stays fourth despite a prolonged spell without racing. The points gap between the Belgian and the leading trio remains significant yet steady. Check last week’s standings.

The headline mover inside the top 10 is Tom Pidcock, up to fifth after winning the Andorra Morabanc Classic. That bump drops Felix Gall to sixth. Also notable is the rise of Jasper Philipsen, who climbs to seventh after a stage and the overall win at the Baloise Belgium Tour, edging past Paul Seixas - now eighth.

Rounding out the top 10 are Mathieu van der Poel and Arnaud de Lie, both holding firm as classics powerhouses.

Outside the top 10, there are major moves. Among the biggest climbers is Giulio Pellizzari, up seven to 22nd after finishing second at the Tour of Slovenia. Brandon McNulty also gains seven places, his work for Pogacar at the Tour de Suisse lifting him in the standings.

On the downside, one of the most significant drops is Joao Almeida, down 15 places following a lack of racing after early-season physical issues, with his sights set on a Vuelta return. Oscar Onley also slides, losing ten spots in an uneven campaign, with question marks over his Tour form.

The biggest fall inside the top 50 belongs to Kevin Vauquelin, down 19 after not racing this season following his standout Tour de Suisse last year. In the mid-block, riders like Jonas Vingegaard and Isaac del Toro remain key markers ahead of the Tour de France.
