From 81 to 5 - How many races did each World Tour team win in 2024?
CyclingWednesday, 23 October 2024 at 17:00
When we look at the table of the most successful teams of 2024, we can conclude that there is a supremacy of the big projects over the other teams. UAE Team Emirates has achieved 81 victories this year and this was close to being the year where a pro cycling team has taken the most triumphs.
In collaboration with CiclismoAtual, we have taken a look... UAE Team Emirates' over-investment in Tadej Pogacar is reflected in the team's total number of victories: 81, the third best record ever and, of course, a new record for the team. For his part, the Slovenian cyclist has pocketed 25 victories. Lidl-Trek confirmed its rise to prominence this year with 42 victories, a new team record, to take second place among the teams who have won the most.
The first negative surprise in the table comes at the bottom of the podium. At the end of last year, a lot of ink flowed about Patrick Lefevere's team, Soudal- Quick-Step, and the possible merger with the then Jumbo-Visma. As a result of this impasse (and more), the team ended up neglecting the transfer window and ended up with its worst result since 2011: just 34 wins.
Team Visma | Lease a Bike went from the winningest team in 2023 to off the podium. The team saw many of its riders involved in serious crashes that made it impossible for them to compete for months, and this was reflected in the final result. There were 37 fewer victories than the previous year: 32. In the 5 Monuments of the year, the team didn't manage to get a man into the Top 10 a single time. For a team of Visma's caliber and investment, 2024 was a very, very poor year in the one-day races.
Tadej Pogacar contributed to UAE Team Emirates' success with 25 wins in 2024
With the entry of big investors in cycling like Decathlon, the sport is gaining and this has been reflected in the results of the French team. We could talk about the signings or the significant improvements the team has made, but let's stick to the numbers. 30 wins in the year 2024, beating their previous record which dated back to the last century, specifically 1999. It's another case of the French company deciding to invest in the sport and reaping stupendous exposure and dividends compared to larger investments in other sports.
Another team that broke its record for wins in a single season was Israel - Premier Tech, 29. Even though their squad includes a gold-paid cyclist called Chris Froome, who is 'dead weight' for the team and who in 2024 scored 0 UCI points.
Further down the table we have INEOS Grenadiers with 14 wins. The team that has largely dominated the scene over the past decade is in internal turmoil and its year of anguish was summed up by victories in the Amstel Gold Race and the Tour of Romandie (even without winning any stages). Bahrain - Victorious had one of its worst sporting years, winning 13 times, and it was the young Antonio Tiberi who saved the year by winning the Tour of Luxembourg, as well as other good results in his season.
On the World Tour, the worst team of the year was French team Cofidis with... 5 wins. There's little else to add to the team's performances, which along with Movistar Team with 8 wins and Arkéa - B&B Hotels with 9, occupy the lowest places in the 2024 wins table.
Of the PRT teams mentioned above, Israel - Premier Tech was the team with the most wins (29), followed by Uno-X Mobility with 26 and Lotto Dstny with 25.

- Who's Bull
Rafionain-Glas09-07-2026 - Jonas managed to keep the gap to Pog at under 40 seconds for a long way down the descent. So Pog seemed to be simply more consistent in the long run. The chasing group also started getting closer to Jonas. I was wondering if they might all have closed the gap significantly if Kuss had pulled the chasers close to Jonas and Jonas had helped them on the last climb before pulling away again.Hills3309-07-2026
- There is nothing more predictable than Evenepoel losing his shit in the chase. He'll try to milk this "Lipowitz is my leadout" narrative till he gets dropped in week 3.LumbarDeniro09-07-2026
- Its a 3rd place podium fight between Ayuso, Bull, Redballers and Sexy. So why does Crazy Remco want to chase Jonas when nobody is interested. Because while Remco got balls he got no brainsabstractengineer09-07-2026
- Jonas can rest easy knowing that he's the second-best rider in the TdF. Del Toro or Seixas can't match him just yet. Second place will be easy to defend.
PogiFan2Day09-07-2026 - What stage did you watched? Remco was behind Lipo. He is the one closing gaps on his own teammate...MajorPayne09-07-2026
- I don't think Vingegaard believes in himself. He didn't continue pushing to the finish line and wasn't bothered to pursue every second, as he has done in the past. But he also didn't specify whether he believes he can beat Pogačar later in the race or whether he can stay ahead of the chasing pack. And Pogačar's insensitiveness is nothing new. At the Dauphiné last year, on stage 6, he commented that "I had to hurry up to watch the finish of Urska" which many deemed insensitive as it trivialised his rivals who'd given their all. It is, however, extraordinary that he isn't an arrogant pratt like Roger de Vlaeminck, considering his greatness. I think there is a correlation between the number/severity of setbacks a rider has suffered and whether they come across as arrogant or not. Why is Wout always praised for having never lost his dignity?Rafionain-Glas09-07-2026
- What’s the Mike Tyson phrase? Everyone has a plan until the first punch? What a huge gap to open on a single day.RidesHills09-07-2026
- Damn...To soon.... I preferred that UAE didn´t atack so strong this stage...an so early in the grad boucle ! Now theres no to little competition foi maillot jeune in thenext weeks..... Beside that, i was expecting Seixas to go with Vingegard... But not bad for him! He is only 19... Go SEIXAS!!!Alexcavalera09-07-2026
- I'm not claiming he doesn't have the right to be angry, but the way he spills his beans in public hurts his public image.Ride197409-07-2026
