The Belgian finished 2nd overall at the Tour, claimed two stage wins, and stacked multiple top 10s across the race. Thanks to that he sits on 4,716.6 points and stays ahead of an increasingly irresistible Isaac del Toro.The Mexican is 3rd in the standings with 4,208.5, moving ahead of <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclinguptodate.com\/jonas-vingegaard\" title=\"Jonas Vingegaard\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jonas Vingegaard<\/a>. In his first Tour de France, Isaac del Toro finished 3rd overall. He also won stage 2, teed up by a gesture from Tadej Pogacar. Factoring in his full impact, he sits 40 points ahead of Vingegaard who, due to his abandonment, barely scored at the Tour (he has 4,160.8).<\/p>\n<p>Paul Seixas rounds out the top five. The Frenchman made history by achieving the best result for a 19-year-old since 1903. With 4th overall, Seixas banked 750 points, plus his haul from the mountain stages and the time trial. He currently has 4,030.4 and is closing on Jonas Vingegaard, who may not race again this season.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/pogacar-tour-francia-1284234099.jpg@webp.webp\" class=\"w-auto h-auto\" alt=\"Tadej Pogacar wins the Tour de France 2026\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Tadej Pogacar wins the Tour de France 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Rankings shaken up by Tour de France<\/p>\n<p>In sixth sits Jasper Philipsen, a stage winner and 2nd in the Tour\u2019s points classification. Although the Belgian isn\u2019t racking up his usual volume of victories, his consistency keeps him among the leaders on 2,931.6. Close behind is teammate Mathieu van der Poel on 2,740.6 after two Tour stage wins, including the spectacular Montmartre finale.<\/p>\n<p>Who\u2019s in 8th? Lenny Mart\u00ednez, who delivered the finest Tour of his young career by finishing 5th overall. He has 2,662.4 to edge ahead of Mauro Schmid, another major Tour protagonist with a stage win, who is 9th and just 24 points back (2,638.8). The top 10 is completed by Tom Pidcock, who raced boldly throughout, finishing 9th overall after animating multiple breakaways.<\/p>\n<p>Juan Ayuso is the best placed of Spanish riders at the moment in 25th. He has 1,475.5 points, 756.25 of which came at the Grande Boucle. In other words, half. His 7th place overall is the main driver of this leap.<\/p>\n<p>UCI WorldTour Ranking Riders (Date: 28.07.2026)PositionRiderTeamPoints1\u00a0POGA\u010cAR TadejUAE Team Emirates &#8211; XRG8556.82\u00a0EVENEPOEL RemcoRed Bull &#8211;
