UCI Men's road racing world ranking

The UCI men's road racing world rankings are a point system which is used to rank men's road cycling riders. Points are accrued over a rolling 12-month period, with the points available at each race weighted for its prestige.

The previous UCI Road World Rankings system had operated from 1989-2004. It was scrapped for 2005, with separate ranking systems operating for the top-level UCI ProTour and the second-tier UCI Continental Circuits. The ProTour rankings were replaced with a World Ranking system for 2009-2010, though this only considered a small number of ProTour and other high-prestige races, and was then merged into the World Tour in 2011. A new World Ranking system was then launched in 2016, incorporating both World Tour and Continental Circuit races.

Ranking system[]

Ranking	Summary
Individual UCI World Ranking	This ranking system is calculated on a 52-week rolling basis, rankings are updated each Monday. The ranking at the end of the calendar year will be utilised to award an annual winner. Unlike previous ranking systems the UCI World Classification will include all male riders from the World Tour down to U23 riders. Points will be awarded on all races from World Tour level down to 1.2 and 2.2 races.
UCI World Ranking by nations	This is based on the world ranking with the best eight riders from each country contributing towards their nation's overall score.
UCI WorldTour Rankings	This is the UCI WorldTour ranking of riders, teams and nations taking part in the events of the UCI WorldTour. Only riders being part of a UCI WorldTeam obtain points in UCI WorldTour races.
Continental Ranking	There will be subsets of rankings which are made up from points scored in non-World Tour races (i.e., UCI Europe Tour, UCI Asia Tour etc.) for individuals, teams and nations. This will therefore allow one rider to appear in more than one ranking, for example a rider who won Strade Bianchi and a stage in the Tour of California would be part of the Europe Tour and America Tour rankings.
