Isaac Del Toro Regains UCI World Top 3 Spot
Isaac Del Toro once again occupies a place among the top three riders on the planet after an outstanding performance at the Montreal Grand Prix.
The cyclist from Ensenada has reclaimed third place in the UCI world rankings, bringing his total to 6,476.5 points and once again cementing his status among the absolute elite of international cycling.
This rise further confirms the extraordinary form the Mexican rider is displaying during the 2026 season, following historic results achieved against the biggest names in the global peloton.
Del Toro’s standout performance in Montreal allowed him to gain ground in a ranking that features the most consistent and successful riders on the professional circuit.
However, the shake-up within the world’s Top 10 didn’t stop with the Mexican’s return to the top tier; there were also significant shifts among the new generation of international cyclists.
France’s Paul Seixas made a significant move of his own, climbing two spots to take fourth place, right behind Isaac Del Toro.
The young French rider continues to demonstrate immense potential and is emerging as a key figure in the future of world cycling.
Meanwhile, Jonas Vingegaard dropped two places after being forced to halt his competitive season to recover from an injury sustained during the Tour de France.
The Dane’s temporary absence opened the door for Del Toro and Seixas to climb the ranks in an increasingly competitive field.
Consequently, Isaac Del Toro heads into the World Championships as the third-ranked cyclist in the world according to the UCI.
He trails only Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora) and Tadej Pogačar, his teammate at UAE Team Emirates.
However, the World Championships will also be marked by Pogačar’s absence, as he is unable to compete following an injury sustained during the Vuelta a España.
This situation makes Isaac Del Toro one of the most highly anticipated riders heading into this major event on the international calendar.
His presence among the world’s top three proves that the Mexican is no longer just a promising talent, but a genuine competitive force capable of holding his own against today’s best riders.
His return to third place in the UCI rankings comes after an extraordinary season in which Del Toro has achieved victories, podium finishes, and performances that have left a significant mark on the history of Mexican cycling.
Now, with the World Championships on the horizon, all eyes will once again be on the UAE Team Emirates rider as he seeks to continue raising Mexico’s profile on the biggest stage in professional cycling.
The world rankings confirm once again that Isaac Del Toro is enjoying an exceptional run of form and that his rise within the international peloton remains unstoppable.
