Philipsen-Milan-Girmay on the podium; De Lie only 10th

Another season report with the ranking of the best sprinters of 2024 .

With 3708 points, Jasper Philipsen looks down on everyone: not only many sprint victories for the Belgian, but also the splendid triumph at the Sanremo and the 2nd place at the Roubaix.

Right behind him we find our Milan , the best Italian at Fantacycling with 2643 points. For the blue, the victory of the cyclamen jersey at the Giro stands out.

Third place for the green jersey of the Tour, Biniam Girmay ; it was at the Grande Boucle that the Eritrean obtained most of his fantasy points, with three stage victories.

Pedersen placed himself at the foot of the podium with 2252 points, the Dane, certainly not a pure sprinter, did not fully live up to expectations: he won Ghent and placed in Sanremo and Roubaix, but for the rest, also due to several falls, he did not obtain other notable results.

Very close behind are Merlier (1794 points), Kooij (1785 points) and Matthews (1774 points), the first two having had a solid season, with numerous placings and victories in bunch sprints scattered throughout the season, while the Australian placed at Sanremo and won the Quebec GP.

Two other Australians follow, Groves (1404 points) and Pithie (1253 points), while the top ten is closed by the rider who perhaps disappointed the most among them, namely De Lie (1186 points): the Belgian had a very complicated spring also due to an injury, he placed in some sprints at the Tour, but most of his results were obtained in Pro or lower races.
