When you have won the Vuelta a España four times, finishing second is probably not too satisfying, but you still have to take your hat off to 🇸🇮 Primož Roglič for such an impressive performance and result despite a far from ideal preparation. 🔗 prestigelisten.dk/en/rider/17/...

🇩🇰 Magnus Cort has ridden the final race of his career. We say goodbye to an exceptional stage hunter with a remarkable ability to keep winning year after year. The nine Grand Tour stage wins naturally stand out above everything else. Great career. 👏 🔗 prestigelisten.dk/en/rider/633...

🇳🇴 Tobias Halland Johannessen has come heartbreakingly close to a WorldTour win so many times, but on the final stage of the Vuelta a España, he finally managed to cross the line first. He takes a well-deserved leap up the rankings. 👏 🔗 prestigelisten.dk/en/rider/281...

If 🇸🇮 Tadej Pogačar's career had consisted only of his three last seasons, with all of his earlier results erased, he would still rank 6th in history. Had he not been injured and instead won the Vuelta, the Worlds and Il Lombardia, only 🇧🇪 Eddy Merckx and 🇫🇷 Bernard Hinault would rank above him.

It's official: 🇸🇮 Tadej Pogačar's season is over, meaning his 2026 campaign finishes eighth in our ranking of most points ever earned in one season. 🔗 Full ranking: 👉 prestigelisten.dk/en/rankings/...
