The BEMER Cyclassics was the big race of the week when it came to attributing UCI points over the past seven days, but a few smaller-category events have also made some impact. We look at the updated
UCI rankings days before the Vuelta a España.
You can check the
previous update.
Tadej Pogacar remains at the top of the standings as expected when it comes to the points scored in 2025 - mathematically speaking, it might already be literally impossible for anyone to capture him.
Mads Pedersen is now in a more solid second place where he should stay until the end of the year after winning the Tour of Denmark, adding almost 300 points to his tally. Mathieu van der Poel, Isaac del Toro, Jonas Vingegaard, Wout van Aert, Oscar Onley, João Almeida, Florian Lipowitz and Kévin Vauquelin continue to fill out the Top10, largely unchanged with the exception of the Dane.
Paul Magnier, 26th in the new standings, is in fact the best-placed rider to gain positions, after his podium finish at the BEMER Cyclassics -
Arnaud de Lie being the other great beneficiary from this race.
