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, late disappointment for Lotto
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.
