Almost everyone else inside the top 10 made the trip to Australia, which makes total sense given that the only World Tour races that have taken place so far were in that country. Tobias Lund Andresen completes the podium thanks to the 400 UCI points he was awarded after winning the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race. He outsprinted Matthew Brennan, who also had a productive start of the season and is sitting in fourth place with 420 points.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the biggest surprise comes with fifth place, which belongs to Brady Gilmore. The Australian youngster is making his World Tour debut with NSN, after spending 2 years at Israel’s development team. He was essential for Ethan Vernon at the Tour Down Under, helping him to secure a stage win, and was given an opportunity to fight for his own result at the Cadel Evans race, which he didn’t waste as he was third.<\/p>\n
Ant\u00f3nio Morgado<\/a> is the only rider in the top 10 that stayed in Europe. The Portuguese rider was the designated leader in Spain and certainly performed as expected. He won Trofeo Calvi\u00e0 and finished inside the top 10 in the other three races he participated in, amassing 279 UCI points throughout the week, increasing his tally to 338.6.

The top 3 is not going to change until the next weeks, once the biggest stars begin their season. Still, we can see there were a couple of changes inside the top 10.On the one hand, Remco Evenepoel<\/a> made his debut with the Red Bull – BORA -hansgrohe and didn’t waste any time. He started in three races in Spain, and he won all three very convincingly, earning 267 points that were enough to move to fifth place after surpassing Joao Almeida. These two riders will be battling out in Spain this week, as they are both at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, so Almeida has the chance to reclaim the fifth spot.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Mathieu van der Poel didn’t need to ride to move up to the seventh place, passing Tom Pidcock. The British rider has not started his season yet, meaning he couldn’t defend his first place at the AlUla Tour he got last year, losing around 150 points.<\/p>\n![\"mauroschmid\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/mauroschmid-66c4fab25b06d.jpg@webp.webp\")
