Fantacycling 2026: The riders who have gained the most value

Another extraordinary cycling season has come to a close, and with the road race verdicts come the final assessments of market capitalization.

The king of the market: Paul Seixas breaks the bank

The most dramatic leap forward comes from Paul Seixas. The young talent started the season with a value of 15 credits, then finished with a stellar value of 34 credits. A record capital gain of +19 credits, he's easily one of the best signings of the year.

The sacred monsters never disappoint: Evenepoel and Pogacar at the top

Often, buying the most expensive riders at the beginning of the year leaves little margin for profit, but not in this case. The two world cycling phenomena have further increased their already high value:

* Remco Evenepoel: Gone from 59 to 71 credits (+12), confirming himself as an absolute certainty.

* Tadej Pogacar: Despite starting from the monster quota of 92 credits, he managed to reach 103 credits (+11) thanks to a simply historic season, closed with a fall that forced him to withdraw from the Vuelta and miss all the races at the end of 2026.

Surprises and confirmations: the top 10

The rest of the ranking of the top ten riders by growth in value offers interesting insights among both sprinters and climbers:

4) Tobias Andresen: From 8 to 18 credits (+10)

5) Giulio Ciccone: From 31 to 39 credits (+8)

6) Christophe Laporte: From 10 to 18 credits (+8)

7) Richard Carapaz: From 22 to 29 credits (+7)
