This blog shows the top 100 of the UCI World Ranking on may 3th and the Cycling Elo for the different skills.

After the hill classics in April, the hill ranking has a new top three. Mathieu van der Poel skipped the hill classics and lost his lead. Julian Alaphilippe and Tadej Pogacar won the ardennes classics and are now in the first two positions. At age 41 Valverde is back in the top five.

Cyclists with different specialties can make it to top of the world ranking. In this article I make an estimation which specialties are more important to explain the variance in number of world ranking points. The hill quality is the most important determinant to explain the variance. The climbing skill is getting more important and the time trial skill is getting less important.
