UCI Rankings Rider Update | After Flanders victory Tadej Pogacar is back at the top - But Pedersen and Van der Poel are on his heels

Juan Ayuso took the lead of the 2025 UCI Rankings when it comes to individual points scored, but it was temporary. Over at the spring classics a lot of riders are making big moves, and after the Tour of Flanders it is Tadej Pogacar who has taken over the lead once again.

You can check the previous update. The changes from the last update are significant, and Pogacar's 800 points scored in Flanders have boosted him back to the top. Mads Pedersen, second in Flanders and fifth at DDV scored 760 and is now only slightly behind the Slovenian in second place. Mathieu van der Poel, third at De Ronde, now sits third but the gaps are very small and with Paris-Roubaix already this weekend, the lead could change once again. Filippo Ganna descended from second to fourth but still added 200 points, enough to overtake Juan Ayuso who is now fifth.

When it comes to the year-long ranking, Pogacar's lead is not going to be challenged any time soon, and at this point he's got almost three times as many points as third place Mathieu van der Poel - who actually lost points as he couldn't replicate the 2024 Flanders' victory. Mads Pedersen was the rider who broke through in this ranking the most at the top climbing from 12th to 8th, whilst Wout van Aert ascended from 22nd to 12th. Neilson Powless' win at Dwars door Vlaanderen also saw him add many points to the tally, rising from 54th to 36th. Thibau Nys, after his win at the GP Miguel Indurain, also climbed into the Top100 and is now 76th.
