Latest UCI Race Rankings for Men, Women, and Juniors

South Africa’s Alan Hatherly and Switzerland’s Alessandra Keller are currently the top riders in the Elite Men’s and Elite Women’s classes in the latest UCI rankings of the world’s top cross-country racers. This information comes to us courtesy of XCODATA.COM.

The points rankings are based on the number of UCI points the riders earned over the past 365  days (or 366, when a February 29th is included, as in 2024). The points get updated every week as points earned more than a year ago get dropped from the totals, while points earned at the latest races get added to the riders’ points totals.

With UCI XC races taking place in the warmer parts of the world in January and February, such as Spain, Australia, New Zealand, South America, South Africa and Puerto Rico, the riders in those warmer parts of the world can rise up higher in the rankings because they’re  still racing in the months when most of the racers who live in the colder parts of the world this time of year are not racing as much.

Americans Riley Amos and Christopher Blevins are currently the top-ranked American men in the Elite XC ranks, coming in 12th and 13th respectively. Two-time Olympic champion Tom Pidcock is currently down in 20th place, as he’s been concentrating on his road racing career.

In the Elite Women’s ranks, Kate Courtney is currently the top American in eighth place in the UCI rankings, with fellow Americans Savilia Blunk in 10th, Haley Batten in 11th, and Kelsey Urban in 17th.

In the Junior Men’s ranks, America’s River Valdez is currently ranked 6th in the UCI points rankings.

Among the Junior Women, America’s Ingrid McElroy sits in 9th place in the UCI rankings.
