UCI Rankings Rider Update | Is Mads Pedersen the best in the world after Tadej Pogacar?

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.

In the year-round standings we've got the Top10 looking the same with Tadej Pogacar, Mads Pedersen, Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert, Primoz Roglic, Isaac del Toro, Remco Evenepoel, Jonas Vingegaard, Oscar Onley and Ben O'Connor occupying the first positions in the leaderboard with the same order. Jonathan Milan, losing points of last year's BEMER Cyclassics, is the rider who came down the furthest from those near the top. We don't have many changes in the Top10, only minor ones.
