New UCI WorldTour riders’ ranking: How the standings look ahead of the Tour de France, with Vingegaard closing on Pogacar
Cycling
The UCI WorldTour ranking reaches the midpoint of the season with a notably stable picture at the top. The latest update confirms no changes in the top 10 compared with last week, in a spell marked by a lull in major races after the Giro d’Italia and with the Tour de France just around the corner as the key points opportunity.
The lead remains with Tadej Pogacar, who holds a firm advantage on 11,630 points. The Slovenian stays the undisputed benchmark thanks to his consistency at the biggest dates on the calendar, especially stage races and Monuments, where he has built most of his haul. His position has not been threatened at any recent point, reflecting his steadiness across the entire campaign.

Jonas Vingegaard holds second on 9,225.14 points. The Dane keeps pace with the leader, but without closing the gap at this stage of the season. His profile, more attuned to Grand Tours, means his ranking trajectory hinges largely on his performance at the Tour de France, where he traditionally makes his biggest impact on the UCI classification.
Remco Evenepoel rounds out the podium, steady in third with 5,717.86 points. The Belgian, now at Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe, remains firmly in the world elite after a season balancing Grand Tour targets and time trials. His position reflects a blend of consistency and performance peaks in key races.
Fourth is Isaac del Toro, one of the standout names of the year. On 4,719 points, the Mexican from UAE Team Emirates XRG confirms his definitive breakthrough among the WorldTour’s best. His presence this high underlines the impact of his progression in multi-week races and his steady ability to score.
Fifth is Felix Gall on 4,053 points, followed by Tom Pidcock in sixth with 3,808.38. They represent contrasting profiles within the top 10: Gall is more focused on high-mountain stage racing, while Pidcock is a versatile rider who can deliver across terrains, including demanding classics and selective stages.
Seventh remains Paul Seixas, on 3,520.33 points, consolidating himself as one of the revelations of the season. Behind him is Mathieu van der Poel, eighth with 3,333 points, whose contribution remains concentrated in the spring classics and top-tier one-day races.
Arnaud De Lie sits inside the top 10 of the UCI WorldTour Ranking.
Ninth place goes to Arnaud De Lie on 3,182 points, with Florian Lipowitz closing the top 10 on 3,103.86 points. Both riders bridge the gap between classics specialists and stage race talents with room to grow.
The main takeaway from the ranking at this point in the season is the complete lack of movement within the top 10 versus last week. This reflects a relatively calm phase in the UCI calendar after the Giro d’Italia, with most major contenders either managing efforts or focusing preparation on the summer block.
Compared with the previous week, the top 10 is identical in order and composition, reinforcing the sense of a clearly defined elite. Changes have occurred only in positions lower down the top 40, where there have been swaps, but without affecting the structure of the front group.

- This is just stupid, You do what you are good at not what you are weak at. He has no results to speak of when he participated. Even Froome, Conatdor had very little. With Pogi there he wont win none of the classics. he is already 30+ with a few years left at the top. It takes years to get good at classics. Is that really worth the effort???abstractengineer02-11-2026
- Sure, little fella.awp02-11-2026

- Geez LeMond...let it go. You're a has been, albeit a former great one. But this is all water under the bridge and just undermines your legacy further.Mshark01-11-2026
- 'The Slovenian has collected four Tour de France titles' ... '[Kieran Wood's] ... reporting spans the full racing calendar, from one-day classics to stage races, with a focus on accurate, real-time coverage and clear contextual analysis'. i would say that is pretty inaccurate accurate coverage, kieran wood ... too bad that AI's knowledge often lags several months behind ... but proof reading is certainly part of accurate coverage, isn't it? but fortunately does Kieran Wood place 'strong emphasis on careful sourcing, editorial accuracy, and updating articles as new, verified information becomes available.' i would say the fifth tdf title is pretty new (and even verified) information, so feel free to update this article.Ketterechts01-11-2026
- You are wrong, they are already working on his new tt position. And yes, Trump does love you 😂👍🏼awp01-11-2026
- The Erola Jons incident was not isolated. She felt she could do that because that's how everyone treats Tadej. Remember when he said "If I say wait 2 mins do you show the middle finger and walk off angry?" about the supposed fan who did exactly that? There's nothing wrong with the nurses and doctors asking him to give autographs... but do the surgery first
