It's no surprise that Tour de France and Giro d'Italia champion Tadej Pogačar and his team UAE Team Emirates sit atop the UCI World Rankings following the Slovenian's triumph in Nice on Sunday.

Pogačar has been the world's number one rider since 2021, with results such as two Grand Tour victories, six stage wins in each the Giro and the Tour, and victories in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Strade Bianche and Il Lombardia padding out his current 12-month rolling tally of points.
