Sources & scope

Real data. Recorded races.

Totals cover the fantasy-eligible Elite races in The Leadout’s database — World Cup XCO, XCC and DHI, plus the World Championships. They are recorded totals, not a claim of complete career coverage, and fantasy points are The Leadout’s scoring, not UCI ranking points.

Honors are official titles only: world titles from UCI World Championships results, and Olympic medals and World Cup overall wins from the published classifications.

Equipment is The Leadout’s catalog record of the rider’s setup, not a race-day inspection. Product images show the catalog item and may differ from the exact race build.
