Just behind, in fifth, Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen surges with 1,080 points, confirming outstanding form after stringing together three high-profile wins in short order to become one of the peloton\u2019s sharpest sprinters.<\/p>\n<p>The Top 10 is rounded out by riders blending consistency and momentum. Dane Tobias Lund Andresen is sixth with 950 points, followed by Italian Christian Scaroni (896) and compatriot Antonio Tiberi (895), both steady in this early campaign. Ninth is American Matteo Jorgenson (890), with Frenchman Romain Gr\u00e9goire closing the Top 10 on 861 points.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the first ten, the ranking features spectacular moves. Notable are Andrea Vendrame, up 212 places to 19th, and Daniel Felipe Mart\u00ednez, who climbs 288 spots to 26th. Equally striking is Georg Steinhauser\u2019s leap of 600 positions to enter the Top 30.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, some favourites have lost significant ground. Belgian Remco Evenepoel slips to 15th, while Denmark\u2019s Jonas Vingegaard drops to 18th. More pronounced are the falls of Portugal\u2019s Jo\u00e3o Almeida, now 53rd, and Spain\u2019s Juan Ayuso, down to 56th.<\/p>\n<p>Also notable is the slide of Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel, down to 13th after not scoring heavily enough this past week, and Belgian Wout van Aert, now 23rd, in a quieter start to the season than expected.<\/p>\n<p>Among teams, UAE Team Emirates &#8211; XRG continues to dominate thanks to points from Del Toro, Poga\u010dar and Jan Christen. Team Jayco AlUla also impresses with strong Top 20 presence, while Bahrain &#8211; Victorious has several riders well placed.<\/p>\n<p>UCI riders ranking (27-03-2026)<\/p>\n<p>* This ranking covers races held in 2026 only.<\/p>\n<p>PositionNameTeamPoints 1  Isaac del Toro  UAE Team Emirates &#8211;

His ability to score across all terrains keeps him as the undisputed reference.<\/p>\n<p>In second place is Isaac del Toro, whose breakthrough has been one of the stories of the year. Although he did not race Sanremo, his earlier haul of results keeps him in a privileged position.<\/p>\n<p>Jonas Vingegaard rounds out the podium, with a stronger focus on stage races, which explains his solidity but also a certain gap to Pogacar across such a varied calendar.<\/p>\n<p>Dane Mads Pedersen (4th) and Belgian Remco Evenepoel (5th) reflect opposing profiles: the former highly competitive in Classics like those held this week (GP Denain or Bredene Koksijde Classic), and the latter more focused on peak targets, which has cost him one place.<\/p>\n<p>The latest mover inside the top 10 is Tom Pidcock, now sixth, boosted by his runner-up spot at Sanremo and his activity at the Volta a Catalunya. His versatility lets him score in all kinds of races.<\/p>\n<p>The top 10 is completed by familiar names such as Joao Almeida (7th), very consistent in stage races; Mathieu van der Poel (8th), penalised by a lighter recent schedule; Wout van Aert (9th), always competitive in the Classics; and Jay Vine (10th), who closes the group thanks to his consistency.<\/p>\n<p>PositionNameTeamPoints 1  Tadej Pogacar  UAE Team Emirates &#8211; XRG  11635  2  Isaac del Toro  UAE Team Emirates &#8211; XRG  6789  3  Jonas Vingegaard  Team Visma | Lease a Bike  6369  4  Mads Pedersen  Lidl &#8211; Trek  5017  5  Remco Evenepoel  Red Bull &#8211; BORA &#8211; hansgrohe  4846  6  Tom Pidcock  Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team  4260  7  Joao Almeida  UAE Team Emirates &#8211; XRG  4074  8  Mathieu van der Poel  Alpecin-Premier Tech  3563  9  Wout van Aert  Team Visma | Lease a Bike  3498  10  Jay Vine  UAE Team Emirates &#8211; XRG  2816  11  Arnaud De Lie  Lotto Intermarche  2732  12  Ben Healy  EF Education &#8211; EasyPost  2690  13  Giulio Ciccone  Lidl &#8211; Trek  2603  14  Kevin Vauquelin  INEOS Grenadiers  2583  15  Oscar Onley  INEOS Grenadiers  2519  16  Christian Scaroni  XDS Astana Team  2415  17  Felix Gall  Decathlon CMA CGM Team  2375  18  Lenny Martinez  Bahrain &#8211; Victorious  2275  19  Jasper Philipsen  Alpecin-Premier Tech  2269  20  Romain Gregoire  Groupama &#8211; FDJ United  2237  21  Matteo Jorgenson  Team Visma | Lease a Bike  2234  22  Primoz Roglic  Red Bull &#8211; BORA &#8211; hansgrohe  2211  23  Giulio Pellizzari  Red Bull &#8211; BORA &#8211; hansgrohe  2203  24  Brandon McNulty  UAE Team Emirates &#8211; XRG  2200  25  Florian Lipowitz  Red Bull &#8211; BORA &#8211; hansgrohe  2162  26  Jonathan Milan  Lidl &#8211; Trek  2104  27  Mattias Skjelmose  Lidl &#8211; Trek  2096  28  Paul Magnier  Soudal Quick-Step  2015  29  Tobias Lund Andresen  Decathlon CMA CGM Team  1986  30  Simon Yates  1953  31  Paul Seixas  Decathlon CMA CGM Team  1937  32  Tobias Halland Johannessen  Uno-X Mobility  1904  33  Mauro Schmid  Team Jayco AlUla  1897  34  Juan Ayuso  Lidl &#8211; Trek  1893  35  Jan Christen  UAE Team Emirates &#8211; XRG  1863  36  Matthew Brennan  Team Visma | Lease a Bike  1847  37  Richard Carapaz  EF Education &#8211; EasyPost  1789  38  Egan Bernal  INEOS Grenadiers  1772  39  Biniam Girmay  NSN Cycling Team  1761  40  Michael Storer  Tudor Pro Cycling Team  1735  41  Tim Merlier  Soudal Quick-Step  1668  42  Jordi Meeus  Red Bull &#8211; BORA &#8211; hansgrohe  1650  43  Antonio Tiberi  Bahrain &#8211; Victorious  1620  44  Olav Kooij  Decathlon CMA CGM Team  1613  45  Emilien Jeanniere  TotalEnergies  1581  46  Corbin Strong  NSN Cycling Team  1511  47  Derek Gee  Lidl &#8211; Trek  1485  48  Michael Matthews  Team Jayco AlUla  1454  49  Alex Aranburu  Cofidis  1441  50  Julian Alaphilippe  Tudor Pro Cycling Team  1427 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; Fourth belongs to Switzerland\u2019s Mauro Schmid, one of the ranking\u2019s revelations, solid on 1,085 points.
