History of the UCI World Tour

Since 2005, the ranking of the world’s top cyclists has been based on points in races under the UCI ProTour auspices. As a result of a conflict between the management, several important cycling races dropped out of the Pro Tour schedule. Nevertheless, since 2009, points have been given even for those races that have been withdrawn from the calendar. For the time being, the rankings are not only individual, but also team and national.
