mvdp CLEARLY had the best season
I'm curious where is Ganna in the rankings. Hes gotten second place in many important races and even took the hour record one year one week ago. Does anyone know how the hour record / Track performances are factored into these UCI rankings?
UCI World Tour Rankings do not share the same merit and significance of, say, Tennis Ranking . . . not even close!
Wout Motterfucking Aert!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the video, watched it twice. I struggle with your ranking of MVDP winning 2 monuments and the Worlds finishing behind Mads. Love Mads but he didn't have a better year than MVDP IMO. Keep posting great cycling content!
Different from last year, Tadej dominated the one day races this year. He has 600+ more points than the second place MvDP. And he is out of the top 3 of stage race ranking. Last year, he was the second for both one day race and stage race.
Van Der Poel narrowly ahead of Pogacar for me. Its fair that Pogacar is the best rider in the world and his Flanders win was a memorable one. My two favourite riders but Van Der Poel's attack on the Poggio and up Montrose Street in the World champs where both times he rode Pogacar and Van Aert off the wheel are career defining highlights.
How on earth are van Aert and Pedersen in front of MvdP?!
MVDP should have been 3rd or 4th had this list not included grand tours. And personal take, Roglic had a better season than Vingegaard
I believe Kuss should be on this list. WvA and Almeida were worse thab him.
I can find myself in this rangking , what a luxery to have so much exceptional riders in 1 decade ! for me it was a fair resuld.
Mads Pillerson???
I think you got the MVDP, Pedersen, Van Aert trio exactly backwards. MVDP did it when it counted — 2 monuments and 2 world championships, not to mention 2nd at Flanders. Pedersen and Van Aert had plenty of lesser wins, but in my book MVDP was by far the best non grand tour contender.
MVDP way too low IMO. Mads higher placed? Wout placed higher? What? Not even watching to the end…
I don't rank Jonas as high just because he is scared of classics and one day races. Mvdp had a great season and leading out the sprint train for his team was about the best ever, team guy for sure. I love the monuments and classics that is far more impressive than seeing how strong your team is and staying out of the wind till the last 2k
its the official points ranking, but I think most cycling fans would rank MVDP in the top 3.
Egan Bernal had the best season
If Ving won the vuelta would he be in the no 1?
how is wout and mads better than mvdp lol? mvdp won almost every race both cyclecross and road against wout and i dont even bother to discuss mads
1. Jonas, 2. Primoz, 3. MVP, 4. Tadej, 5. Sepp, 6. Phillipsen, 7. Adam, others are not that much separable
pedersen ahead of vdpoel ? You are kidding right ?
Arnaud De Lie dropped out of top 10. He did have 10 wins but is he overhyped?
At all the people in the comments mad about the ranking, this is the UCI ranking, not a personal one
what mvdp 7 no way 😭😭😭
I would say that MVDP and Primoz had best season. Primoz won every gc except Vuelta and Mathieu has 2 world titles and 2 monuments
No way any had a better year than Jonas… That’s crazy
Pogi and mvdp are the best riders 🙂 UCI ranking does it's job, but the way it is currently made I wonder if it really adds anything. The amount of race days seems to play a huge part. If ranking was a really big deal you'd have some heavily overworked cyclists
I think Vingegaard has edged pog with this season.
Plus no kuss on the list??
Remember this video is based on uci points!!!!!!!
People, it’s an objective UCI points list. Shows that uci points help determine a good top 10 but subjectivity has a role to play in saying who really had the best season
All champs ,the best in what they can, love them all , they make cykling worth following
I think Pogacar is the best this year, but the most impressive rider this year is MVDP! He doesn’t just win, he does it astonishing!
Tadej and Remco, no other rider 😉 Only Tadej and Remco do all kinds of races: Grand Tours, 1 Week GCs, Classics, One Day Races, National Championshios, TT-s, World Championships etc. Eventhough the two sometimes drop "dead" or are considered jokers, Tadej and Remco are the only two riders in the world who dare to ride every kind of race.
looking at the grand tours, its Vingegaard, Roglic, Pogi and then Kuss and Almaida. Looking at classics and one day races i would say MvdP, Pogi, Aert, Pedersen. Pogi is only first because he did well in both. But i think MvdP definitely had the biggest ones, winning Paris Roubaix and the rainbow jersey. Too bad he was only a supporting role in the tour and didnt go for his own success.
I’m sorry, Tadej did not win a grand tour. I think Jonas Vingegaard proved himself as the best racer in the world. TDF Carrie’s the most weight, and he crushed Pogacar in the TDF. Could have won the Vuelta, but showed class in supporting Sepp Kuss.
Jonas should have the first spot. He won the hardest tour of the year, and could easily have won the Vuelta as well. How can you be said to be the number one, when you aren't able to win any of the grand Tours? Winning one day races doesn't make you the best.
FYI, Remco is 3rd on the UCI ranking, Chrono des nations put him over Roglic.
With these results he desirve to be the best, but with a bit more luck he could have couple of races more. Like Worlds champ., Milano San Remo, LBL and ofcourse yellow at TDF
