PCS Rankings update: Remco Evenepoel overtakes Tadej Pogacar for top spot as Jasper Philipsen launches into top-4
Cycling
Another dramatic week of cycling in the books has seen a major shakeup at the top of the men's individual PCS Rankings, including a new overall leader!
For those unaware, the PCS rider rankings are a points-based system based on a rolling 12-month + 2 weeks overlap period. All races on the calendar are counted once and after the finish of a stage or a race, the corresponding day of the previous year is excluded from the riders' tallies.
As of Tuesday the 19th of March, we have a new leader in the standings, Remco Evenepoel. The Belgian leaps ahead of Tadej Pogacar, who drops down to second place despite an impressive showing at Milano-Sanremo, finishing third. Winner of that monument however, was Jasper Philipsen and as a result, the Belgian has leaped up three places and into 4th overall, hot on the heels of Jonas Vingegaard in 3rd.
Mads Pedersen also rises to 5th as Wout van Aert and Primoz Roglic suffer drops. Looking further down the list, Juan Ayuso is up six spots into 13th, Mathieu van der Poel is down four and now sits 14th. Brandon McNulty is up six places to 15th with Matteo Jorgenson up twenty-six places and Michael Matthews rising an incredible 44 spots.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
