The biggest difference is found in the two teams that have been ranked the lowest, Arkéa Samsic and Astana Qazaqstan Team. The votes here were quite more positive from the fans than the riders. Outside of those two however two clear teams pop out that have been seen on a more positive light by readers which were AG2R Citroën Team and Soudal - Quick-Step.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, Team DSM-Firmenich was the team that had the biggest negative difference when it came to analyzing the votes from the readers. Only 7 out of 18 teams had a negative difference actually, a minority. DSM was followed by Team Jayco AlUla, and then Jumbo-Visma where the extremely high rating from the writers was not matched as positively.
