UCI Riders Ranking; Date: 27/02/2025
*This ranking represents the UCI points scored over the past 12 months.
With Tadej Pogacar scoring big and Remco Evenepoel losing points from last year, the gap is only a few points away from literally being the double from first to second - this should happen soon at Strade Bianche. We've had Jonas Vingegaard gain positions on Ben O'Connor and Marc Hirschi into 5th place; and Enric Mas overtaking Wout van Aert to enter the Top10.
Oscar Onley (11 positions), Giulio Ciccone (23 positions), Santiago Buitrago (10 positions), Pavel Sivakov (23 positions), Paul Lapeira (11 positions) climbed a lot of positions in the rankings with the added points, but it is Christian Scaroni who takes the spotlight as he entered the Top100, climbing 60 positions over the past week despite the French races offering little points.

- In this case, maybe is my fault (my ignorance). Fortunately, my family hasn't been sick for many, many years, so I can't say if doctors in Italy are still old-fashioned. When we catch a cold (very mild, nothing that requires medical attention), we recover completely in about a week. This may have reinforced my belief in the 7-day cure. Thank you so much, MisterM
maria2024202407-04-2025 - I appreciate the No Excuses thing...bobo07-04-2025
- It’s totally normal people don’t generally know, the way doctors continue in their old-fashioned ways. SHOCKING even to see how often they prescribe then without even knowing or testing if your infection is viral or bacterial, even when governments have already launched information campaigns. It’s as if their on the manufacturers’ payroll and exploiting patients.Mistermaumau07-04-2025
- Easy to say, but when you know you were not in the best of form and you don’t know how it’ll be on the day, the only way you can find out what’s possible is by testing what you can do what you can. The fact that he was “only” as good as MP and WVA makes the discussion pretty pointless, all unbiased people are interested in is who is the better when both are in top shape. I for one wouldn’t want to go back to the days of unhealthy gang rivalries such as the DV brothers against Merckx which could devolve into dirty tricks, quite happy everyone now tries to win in his own way.Mistermaumau07-04-2025

- I disagree, the only issue yesterday was Tadej was stronger, he softened them on every berg after the first loop then burned them hard up the Oude Kwaremont/Paterberg. As Adam Blyth suggested in commentary there is NOBODY better at these 4 or 5 minute efforts on these hills. Protract that to next weekend those 4 or 5 minute efforts could be the difference. Yesterday however, MVDP, WVA and Mads left everything on those roads, Tadej was stronger that simple.slappers6607-04-2025
- He’s living in his own little world, with Bruneel and Hincapie supporting this nonsense. LA is beyond redemption, will die alone, resentful, a lying, cheating, toxic human being. Feel sorry for his childrenCrashjames07-04-2025
