Cycling Elo May 1, 2021

May 01, 2021

Most cycling rankings are based on performances during the last year. Mortirolo Analyses uses rankings for different types of cycling skills based on the chess Elo-system. The rating of the cyclists is not determined with a predefined point system, but riders gain or lose rating points based on their (relative) results. Winning a low classified race with many top riders could lead to gain lots of rating points, while in a predefined point system that rider would only add a couple of points to his total. On the other hand the world leader can lose points even if he finishes around the tenth spot, because his predicted result was to win. Each race riders win or lose rating points.

April is the month with some of the most hill classics. After this month 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 ardennnes classics and are now in the first two positions. At age 41 Valverde is back in the top five. Roglics wasn’t very succesfull in the Gold Race and Liege-Bastogne-Liege and dropped out of the top five.
