UCI Men's road racing world ranking
The UCI men's road racing world rankings are a point system which is used to rank men's road cycling riders. Points are accrued over a rolling 12-month period, with the points available at each race weighted for its prestige. The previous UCI Road World Rankings system had operated from 1989-2004. It was scrapped for 2005, with separate ranking systems operating for the top-level UCI ProTour and the second-tier UCI Continental Circuits. The ProTour rankings were replaced with a World Ranking system for 2009-2010, though this only  considered a small number of ProTour and other high-prestige races, and was then merged into the World Tour in 2011. A new World Ranking system was then launched in 2016, incorporating both World Tour and Continental Circuit races. Past rankings. Year-end UCI World Rankings.
