To mark the end of 2024, the team of Cyclism’Actu offers you different top 10s. After the top 10 of the best sprinters, the best general classification riders, classicmen… here is the final ranking of the Vélo d’Or! The official ceremony will take place this Friday, December 6… Cyclism’Actu is part of the jury for the votes of the BicycleOr and its various variations and will therefore be present at the Pavillon Gabriel in Paris. If the overwhelming domination of Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) obviously left little room for doubt as to the highest step of the podium, the rest of the ranking remains more open. First, we offer you a little look back at the season of the main competitors in this ranking, before our editors present their top 10.
