Pogačar Leads UAE Team Emirates-XRG in UCI Rankings Race

Pogačar Leads UAE Team Emirates-XRG in UCI Rankings Race

Post by : Bianca Haleem

UAE Team Emirates-XRG continues to dominate professional road cycling as the team currently holds the top position in the UCI World Ranking as of March 2026. The team has maintained its strong performance and remained at the top of the rankings for several consecutive seasons.

Slovenian cycling star Tadej Pogačar leads the individual standings of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) rankings with an impressive 11,255 points. He is followed by Mexican rider Isaac Del Toro, who is currently in second place with 6,218 points.

Pogačar is set to lead a powerful seven-rider UAE Team Emirates-XRG squad at the upcoming Strade Bianche race. The prestigious race will take place on Saturday, March 7, across the famous white gravel roads of Tuscany, Italy.

The Slovenian rider will aim to make history by winning the race for the fourth time. Pogačar previously claimed victory in 2022, 2024, and 2025, and another win would further strengthen his legacy in the event.

With the team leading the world rankings and Pogačar in top form, UAE Team Emirates-XRG heads into the Strade Bianche as one of the strongest contenders for victory.
