The Tour of Guangxi and Tour of Chongming Island brought the 2024 WorldTour and Women's WorldTour season to a close and determined this year's UCI rankings.

World champions Tadej Pogachar (UAE Team Emirates) and Lotte Kopecky (SD Walks Pro Time) top the list, and it will come as no surprise to learn the winners of the men's and women's world rankings.

For Pogachar, his fourth ranking win in as many years was a case of complete domination. With 25 wins this season, including the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France, and World Championships, Pogachar now has 11,655 points, nearly 4,000 more than he had in 2023.

He is ahead of two-time Olympic champion Remco Evenpole (Soudal-Quickstep) at the top of the standings, with the Belgian in second place with 6,072.6 points. Belgian rider Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Desseuninck), winner of nine races including Milan-San Remo and three Tour stages, is in third place with 4,790 points.

Ben O'Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) is having the best season of his career and is fourth with 4,096 points. Second places at the Vuelta a España and the World Championships highlighted his 2024 season. Paris-Roubaix and Tour of Flanders winner Mathieu van der Pol rounded out the top five with 4,053 points.

Kopecký was the clear winner of the women's standings with 16 wins, including Strade Bianche, Paris-Roubaix Fam, and the world title, for 6,389 points. The Belgian took the top spot ahead of her teammate Demi Vollering, who finished with 6,389 points.

The 2023 ranking winner won 15 stages in the Vuelta España Femenina, Tour de Suisse, and Tour de France Femme, earning 5,019.3 points.

Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek) won this year's Giro d'Italia women's and Tour de Flanders, finishing third with 4,798.8 points. Behind her, Lorena Vives (SD Works-Pro Time) with 22 wins and 3,811 points and Marianne Vos (Visma-Ries A Bikes) with seven wins and 2,808.7 points round out the top five.

For Pogachar, his 25 wins and 11,655 points tell little of his complete domination of road cycling this season. The Slovenian has won 58 races, almost half of them since starting his campaign with an 81-km solo attack at Stradé Bianche in March. [These include the 51 km World Championships, 48 km Il Lombardia, 38 km Giro delle Miglia, 34 km Giro d'Italia stage 20 and Liege-Bastogne-Liege, 29 km Volta a Catalunya stage 6, and 23 km Montreal GP.

This week he is 171st in the UCI ranking, well ahead of second-place Primoš Roglic (75) and third-place Peter Sagan (69).

If he had theoretically raced as a one-man team this year, his point total would have placed him between Israel Premier Teach and EF Education Easy Post, the 12th largest team in the world.
