The last UCI ranking was published this Tuesday, May 6, 2025 with a leap in 26 places for Lenny Martinez, second on the Tour de Romandie.
Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates XRG) still in the lead, Remco Evenepoel (Sudal Quick-Step) and Primož Roglič (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) follow the rhythm; The UCI ranking did not move at the start of May. But it is the tricolor camp carried by the performance of Lenny Martinez on the Tour de Romandie, which interests us in particular. With its beautiful second place in Switzerland 26 seconds from the leader João Almeida – the Portuguese goes from 12th to 6th place in the world – Martinez performs a superb operation in the UCI ranking. The French of Team Bahrain Victorious leaps 26 places and goes from the 79th to the 53rd world position. He finds himself behind Julian Alaphilippe (Tudor Pro Cycling), 52nd and Romain Grégoire (Groupama-FDJ), 41st and first French in the ranking.
The Tour de Romandie was not the only race to allow teams to achieve great performances. Matthews (Jayco-Alula), winner of Eschborn-Francfort finds himself 25th with an eight-seat gain, while the Belgian Maxim Van Gils (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe), winner of the German race last year, tumbles 68 places (144th).
By team, the maintenance is raging
