New UCI WorldTour Ranking | Tadej Pogacar overhauls Isaac del Toro after Flanders

The UCI WorldTour Ranking takes a major turn after the Tour des Flandres, alongside In Flanders Fields - From Middlekerke to Wevelgem and the GP Miguel Indurain.

Tadej Pogacar’s victory in the Flemish Monument completely reshapes the top of the standings, displacing Isaac del Toro and underlining how the spring block is creating key gaps in the season.

The Slovenian is now the new leader with 2,075 points. His Flanders win, added to his earlier successes at Strade Bianche and Milano–Sanremo, gives him a decisive leap despite racing less than some direct rivals. His selective calendar has become a by word for maximum efficiency, and he now leads with a cushion.

Del Toro slips to second, but retains a very solid tally (1,839). The Mexican skipped these recent fixtures, which cost him against the classics specialists. Even so, his consistency keeps him in a privileged position and he remains one of the most reliable names of the year.

The big mover is Mathieu van der Poel, up to third. His level across the classics, combined with constant presence in the decisive phases, already puts him on 1,780 points. Very close is Remco Evenepoel, fourth, consolidating his growth on this terrain too, which further broadens his competitive profile.

One of the most striking rises is Tobias Lund Andresen’s, now fifth after climbing more than 50 places. His consistency in the Flemish races confirms his breakout weeks ago was no fluke. Just behind sits Wout van Aert, sixth, back among the best after his fourth place in Flanders, banking key points.

Tom Pidcock holds seventh. The Briton loses some prominence versus recent weeks, but stays in the Top 10 thanks to a strong start to the season. More surprising is Mauro Schmid, up to eighth after steady scoring in stage races.

The big loser is Jonas Vingegaard, who drops from second to ninth. Skipping the classics cost him ground against specialists in this format. Jasper Philipsen rounds out the Top 10, still adding thanks to his speed and consistency in one-day races.

Overall, the standings reflect a clear shift: the classics have seized control of the ranking and boosted explosive, versatile riders. With the Ardennes and the Grand Tours on the horizon, the balance could shift again.

*points from 2026 only

The UCI Rankings (WorldTour) over the last 12 months shows a far steadier structure than the current-season table, reflecting performance accumulated across a full competitive year. Unlike the 2026 ranking, where the Classics have triggered sharp swings, consistency in Grand Tours, Monuments, and week-long stage races weighs more heavily here.

Tadej Pogacar remains firmly on top with 11,610 points. The Slovenian dominates thanks to his ability to deliver all season, combining wins in Grand Tours, Classics, and one-week races. His lead over second place is substantial, underlining his consistency across the past twelve months.

Jonas Vingegaard holds second with 6,885 points. The Dane continues to lean on his Grand Tour output, which keeps him on the podium despite a lighter presence in the Classics. Isaac del Toro completes the top three, his breakthrough now consolidated in this broader ranking as well.

Fourth place goes to Remco Evenepoel, who sustains a very solid line across all terrains. Just behind is Tom Pidcock in fifth, confirming his versatility and consistency across disciplines and race profiles.

One of the few moves near the top comes from João Almeida, who climbs to sixth, swapping places with Mads Pedersen, now seventh. They embody different profiles: Almeida more focused on stage races, Pedersen on Classics and sprints.

The top 10 is rounded out by three riders closely tied to the Classics: Mathieu van der Poel (8th), Wout van Aert (9th), and Jasper Philipsen (10th). Their presence confirms the weight of one-day races in the overall count, without dislodging the Grand Tour specialists from the lead.
