UCI Rankings Rider Update | Small changes, but Tadej Pogacar remains solid in the lead

With the Giro d'Italia on the move, big points will soon move. However for the time being the Giro's points are not yet taken into account; whilst throughout a few one-day races, we've got some riders such as Arnaud De Lie and Benoît Cosnefroy climbing up the ranks.

Pogacar is at the top with 6558 points, followed by Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel, Mads Pedersen and Mathieu van der Poel. The changes, small this week, are only seen lower in the ranking.

Arnaud De Lie climbed from 21st to 18th after winning the Circuit the Wallonie - which follows other recent wins. After his win at the Tour du Finistère, Benoît Cosnefroy climbed from 45th to 38th. Boucles de l'Aulne winner Axel Zingle has also moved up from 79th to 68th - although his consistency in the hilly classics is what sees the steady growth. The likes of Wout Poels, Diego Ulissi and Marc Hirschi also climbed through the ranks following the Tour de Hongrie - race winner Thibau Nys is now in the Top100.
