Looking back at each season, we can look through a variety of rankings to discern the top riders of the year. We hardly need the UCI rankings to point out that Tadej Pogačar was the men's rider of the year, while Pauline Ferrand-Prévot comes out on top in the women's peloton.
The Velo d'Or prize ceremony will put any arguments there to rest, while we already know that Lorena Wiebes won the most races in the sport in 2025 with 25 triumphs to Pogačar's 20.
