The notable North American riders forecast to join Isaac del Toro and Magdeleine Vallieres as rising stars on the global scene in 2026

The two most notable North American riders of 2025 were Isaac del Toro of Mexico and Magdeleine Vallieres of Canada.

While North American riders aren't the most numerous in the men's or women's WorldTour, they make up for any shortage in quantity with quality. This past season, young riders from Canada and Mexico blasted to the forefront of the world stage with signature victories. Talent from the United States made progress at prominent UCI events in Europe as well.

Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) was the most recognisable North American in 2025, finishing the season as the third-best rider in the world. The 22-year-old Mexican star called it a "crazy good" season with 16 victories, including Milano-Torino, and second overall at the Giro d'Italia.
