Yes, mtbdata.com offers a feature called "Head to Head" that allows you

Rankings

In the "Rankings" section, you will find the updated rankings of
mountain bike riders in different disciplines.

Points for the rankings are calculated based on the performance of
riders in official competitions, following the scoring system
established by the UCI.

The rankings are updated every Tuesday morning, European time, to
reflect the results and points obtained by riders in the most recent
competitions.

The Live ranking is a provisional, estimated ranking that updates as soon as new race results come in, without waiting for the official UCI ranking that is published every Tuesday. It follows the same method the UCI uses, so it is usually very close to the official one — but because some minor results can still be missing, it is an estimate and the official UCI ranking always prevails.

How the points are calculated (UCI method):

  • Rolling 12 months. Only results from the last 365 days count. When a race is run again, its previous edition drops out of the ranking.
  • XCO + Short Track together. The cross-country (XCO) ranking adds up both the Olympic cross-country (XCO) and the Short Track (XCC) points a rider scores — they feed the same ranking.
  • Elite and Under-23 combined. The XCO ranking is a single list combining Elite and Under-23 results.
  • World Cups and World / Continental Championships: every result counts, with no cap.
  • One-day races (Hors Class, Continental Series, Class 1, 2 and 3): only each rider's best 5 results count.
  • National championships: these follow a special rule. An XCO or XCC national championship is always treated as run on its mandatory date (the third weekend of July), and a rider's national-championship points stay valid only until their next national championship. In practice this means only the most recent national title counts for each format (XCO and XCC), not every edition a rider has ridden.

The UCI Points column shows the official UCI ranking; the Live column shows this provisional estimate.

World Cup

In the "World Cup" section, you will be able to see the calendar,
results, and rankings of the Mountain Bike World Cup competitions.
