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.

Rúben SilvaEditor-in-Chief
A founding contributor to CyclingUpToDate since its launch in January 2022, Ruben Silva has played a central role in shaping the site’s editorial direction and long-term growth. Before joining the project, he built his experience through independent blogging at Echelons Hub and by producing race previews for Ciclismo Internacional, developing a strong analytical voice rooted in daily engagement with professional cycling.
Beyond editorial work, he has been closely involved in the expansion and coordination of CyclingUpToDate’s wider network, helping establish and support sister platforms across multiple languages. This includes ongoing collaboration with CiclismoAlDia (Spanish), CiclismoAtual (Portuguese), WielrennenUpToDate (Dutch), and RadsportAktuell (German), contributing to a shared editorial vision and consistent international coverage.
He also helps oversee editorial governance across the network, setting standards for accuracy and consistency and coordinating updates or corrections when needed.
Originally from the Porto metropolitan area in Portugal, he holds a bachelor’s degree in Geography. His path into cycling journalism was shaped not through formal media training, but through independent reporting, community engagement, and sustained on-the-ground involvement in the sport.
Over the course of his career, he has conducted approximately 100 interviews across road cycling and cyclocross, ranging from one-to-one conversations and online formats to press conferences and on-site pre- and post-race coverage. His interviews include leading riders, team managers, and prominent figures within cycling media: Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard, Mathieu van der Poel, Primoz Roglic, Wout van Aert, Joao Almeida and Tom Pidcock; managers like Patrick Lefevere and Joxean Matxin; and YouTube personality Bryan Kennedy (BKXC)...
Within 18 months of launch, he helped grow CyclingUpToDate’s English-language platform into one of the most-read cycling news websites, built entirely from the ground up. As both a professional journalist and lifelong cycling enthusiast, his focus remains on delivering accurate, timely, and well-contextualized coverage.

- i did not see it. was the relegation justified or an overly hard decision? and don‘t cross riders deviate from straight lines all the time? bumping into each others when they cut corners, etc … why being more strict with the rules on the finish sprint?Ketterechts08-11-2026
- seems like we are advertising the website with pointless comments…Ketterechts08-11-2026
- So?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- The UCI do have their favorites.
Front24208-11-2026 - On a positive note, you maybe notice turning this topic into a discussion has the benefit of eliminating certain participants who do not see how they can turn it back to their sole interest ;-)Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- People see what they want to. I am actually the opposite of your accusation, probably more of a rebel than most of you who don’t get the big picture. The difference is, I don’t go moaning publicly about the consequences of my transgressions, I understand the need for rules and I take my OWN responsibility when deciding to ignore or break them or doing so involuntarily. I will also not hesitate to state my case or argue vehemently when relevant, sometimes it works, sometimes it makes things worse but that’s the price to pay for principles and having character.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- That may be but that was unknown to others and nothing says that’s the whole truth. Again, don’t try to misinterpret, it is a call and technically it is correct. Besides, even if there is a valid reason, that does not disqualify the ruling or punishment as far as the rules have been developed. I don’t think they’re as far as in football where for handball there is a distinction (in some ways and specific cases) between intentional or not. And football can be just as harsh and people live with it, eg the offside rule, also judged to within tiny fractions but often wrong or ignored. It’s the nature of every collective organisation and sometimes I wonder if our rebellion against it isn’t seated in the feelings we carry from the injustices we’ve felt personally, like being flashed driving 1km/h too fast when we are explained limits are just a security measure but we are absolutely certain not to have endangered anyone with our transgression. The problem is, nobody has better solutions and no 2 people have the same interpretation of where a limit should be.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Because for you deviated implies the other rider MUST have been made to fall and fail to finish ??? I don’t know if you ride a bike but next time someone carves you up or drives dangerously close, just hold back from those feelings of changing something, reporting or filming or even complaining. Everyone will just say, hey you’re still here undamaged, doesn’t seem like anyone did anything.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- And we, what are we doing?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- And yet, it attracts people, even you. What’s more, it attracts the rival fanboys to fill cyberspace with endless pointless my hero is better than your hero blabla that’s all been heard before and only helps sell the site as an advertising platform. You know what the solution is but most can’t resist. No different than women who follow and discuss celebs through gossip magazines.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
