With the 2026 road season approaching, and after very positive feedback from 2025, I’m outlining the official scoring system in advance so everyone knows exactly what counts. This thread covers:
• Scoring categories
• Bonus points
• Eligibility rules
• Update schedule

@AppCycling club updates. Top 15 have a decent gap from the rest, but @TeamGoldenKM are miles ahead in 1st currently. Great day for @Lingrinhas1 and @BreoPalmeros !

@InsideOut2912 Was a great race! Monster effort by Ganna to get back to them.

Pogačar almost getting dropped by MVDP just before the top of Poggio was a massive statement by Van der Poel at last year’s MSR, after the Slovenian had been attacking him for 30 minutes 🥵 “You can’t beat me here"

@DelieBulls @thibautgclback @AppCycling @TeamGoldenKM @WorldCyclingClu It’s not been your best week! At least you’re still in the top 20 though. We’re sitting 23rd and our week wasn’t as bad as yours!

@thibautgclback @Tri_Storm1 @AppCycling @TeamGoldenKM @WorldCyclingClu Clim immense 🤕

Big @AppCycling end of week update! @TeamGoldenKM are miles ahead now with all rankings in the top 5, and most top 10s. Made in Italy jump to the rankings, and some big changes mid table. HUGE week for @WorldCyclingClu #2 Couple of days off now!

@fabrizioviani Ahh maybe but I think in this situation it was fine. It was 4 red bulls and him. If he started rotating through then it was more chance of him being attacked. Plus Martinez did zero turns. Was just Denz and the Dijkes. He just took the ride Martinez had anyway.

@Cocaloca99 Well I got day 1 right! Roglic wins by 6 secs.

@Tri_Storm1 We'll see. Day by day 😅😅😅

Whaaat?! Are they crazy or is it time for me to enter my delulu land?! 😂😂😂

Top 10 for the team today in 🇮🇹 at the Trofeo Laigueglia 🙌🏼🚴🏼‍♂️😎 @cyclingmole takes club 🥇 with 51st overall @rickylutton with 🥈 and 60th overall JFJ.Wouty in 🥉 for club at 162nd overall Hopefully we can take this form into the next races @AppCycling

@AppCycling club rankings. @Cycling_port take top spot after a top 10 when @TeamGoldenKM didn’t get one. @BreoPalmeros get a huge result and back in the top 10. @falsoplanoblog get a good result and @Unclipped_Velo back in the top 20!

@cycloben2 Visma itself seems to fall in the ‘what could have been’. They have so much potential but seem to mess everything up. Riders aren’t happy there. Loads of talk about too rigid training without any flexibility for different riders. IMO they’ve ruined WVA and Jonas too. Maybe more

He doesn't yet fall into the 'what could have been' category, but somehow this whole thing doesn't add up to me. There exists someone who can be used so well for attacking efforts, so why doesn't Visma use him more often in any race? Or why haven't they used Per properly in the last 2 years? Per Strand Hagenes is a brilliant profile; I would give anything to have such a cyclist on my own team. If he brings out his 2023 self again... it will be a huge + for both van Aert and Brennan.

@AppCycling club ranking. @Cycling_port draw even on top, just behind on tie break rules. @BeNeCyclingTeam and @falsoplanoblog score highest on the day!

@AppCycling rankings for Saturday. @TeamGoldenKM take the lead after a double victory today when a lot of big teams did not do well! @euskadi_murias also do well from the top 10 teams!

@Tratnikstan If he could have held on when VDP attacked again, I would have thought Vermeersch would have the sprint. I think it’s fine. Guaranteed top 2 with a chance to win, vs peloton catching and getting nowhere

Florian Vermeersch is a huge idiot

@BenjiNaesen Yeh I found alternate methods as soon as they increased the price. I was paying £3.99 and it nearly went 8x more expensive with worse service!! Unreal

Fuck TNT/Eurosport/HBO Max. 🤷‍♂️ Absolutely abhorrent service for 32 GBP per month, with ad breaks every 15 minutes, on the exact moment where attacks are expected. If you have alternative ways of watching, do it. Don't support this garbage. 🤮

@mou55981652 @JooFran47618725 You just beat yourself in an argument. That’s how dumb you are. You said MVDP can’t be top 5 because he has no chance in a GT? So Remco doesn’t belong in your list either. He can’t even do Middle East hills.

@JooFran47618725 Pog DelToro Seixas Ayuso Remco

Come on,win in arguments over me. How can Vini and MVDP be in the top 5 of world cycling if one has no chance at GT and one-week races and the other has zero chance at one-day races and 🐟hasn't even appeared at any of them in the last few years? he couldn't hold peloton at EC

@prestigelisten @Elgo_Vertenten The ONLY thing different about his tweet is he thinks Remco is better than Ayuso Toro Brennan and Tarling. How can you not understand your own tweet? Seixas is irrelevant in the length of his tweet.

@prestigelisten @Elgo_Vertenten You said riders greater than anyone younger than them. You said nothing about major races or significance. Him putting Seixas at the bottom is the exact same meaning as your list…

Complete list of riders who are greater than all riders younger than themselves: 🇧🇪 Eddy Merckx 🇸🇮 Tadej Pogacar 🇧🇪 Remco Evenepoel 🇪🇸 Juan Ayuso 🇲🇽 Isaac Del Toro 🇬🇧 Joshua Tarling 🇬🇧 Matthew Brennan 🇫🇷 Paul Seixas

@mou55981652 So you want Milan to do LBL?

Half of us are calling out MVDP for avoiding Pog at Strade and half of you are wondering why Pog doesn't come to Omloop. That is the biggest problem with cycling and main reason to not be top sport is schedule. If I were in charge, all the best would be in top 10-15 races. All!

@BenjiNaesen Fish and chips is amazing and real English people don’t use vinegar. Your devolved taste bugs wouldn’t understand. Aren’t your most famous foods Waffles and chips? 😂😂😂

Fish and chips are so bad that British people poor vinegar over it in an attempt to kill themselves to avoid eating it.

@erat_perfect @SteAssent @owen_brown76 Yeh he’s being dumb. You’d have to be an idiot to think running at threshold for 3 hours is harder than running at threshold for 4 hours 😂😂😂

@SteAssent @owen_brown76 I’ve done both, my first marathon was over 4 hours and my second was an hour quicker The first was way harder You are just being intentionally obtuse

My PB is 2:58:17 If someone said to me, running 2:30 is harder I'd be like yes obviously lmao I can't hold that pace for 6km. Maybe I'm too autistic idk.
