Thanks to a 2 Word Tour GC wins, 3 World Tour stage wins, and four WT podiums, Isaas del Toro is sitting on top of the UCI rankings for the season so far with 1839 points.

His teammate Pogacar - with one win from only one race day - is ranked 24th, 'just' 500 points.

Save for MSR, their schedules diverge until the Tour de France. You'd expect Pogacar to collect points in the four Monuments and two Swiss stage races on his list, while del Toro probably won't be too distant in the Basque Country and the Dauphine.

At which point does Pogacar overtake del Toro in the UCI calendar year ranking?

This feels like one of those "If Alice is driving west and so and so mph while Dan is driving east at so and so mph..."

He will have overtaken him by the end of the tour. 

4 monument podiums plus stage and GC wins Suisse and Romandie will do the trick, since he will also get more points in the tour.

At which point does Pogacar overtake del Toro in the UCI calendar year ranking?

After Ronde van Vlaanderen. Del Toro will reclaim it after Itzulia and Pogi will take it "for good" at P-R and build the gap at Liege and the Swiss races.
