New UCI WorldTour team rankings - UAE continue to dominate; Red Bull keep Visma at bay; Uno-X, Tudor and Movistar take big jumps
Cycling
UAE Team Emirates continue to ride the wave of their dominant Tour de France as they command the UCI WorldTour team rankings while Red Bull - BORA Hansgrohe have maintained their grip on leading the best-of-the-rest contenders behind ahead of Visma | Lease a Bike.
Despite enduring a mixed week on the road at the Vuelta a Burgos and Tour de Pologne, UAE added to their huge points haul to rise to 23,751 points thanks to wins from Jan Christen in Poland while Julius Johansen also won two stages of the Volta ao Portugal.
In second, Red Bull have maintained their second place command, almost 2000 points ahead of Visma | Lease a Bike. Both teams enjoyed fruitful weeks on the road, Remco Evenepoel's Clasica San Sebastian win was added to by Giulio Pellizzari's Burgos stage win.
Visma took four victories in a successful week. A double from Matthew Brennan in Burgos were complimented by Louie Barre and Bart Lemmen's Poland victories, ensuring the team have continued their winning success from the Tour of Denmark.

Decathlon and Lidl-Trek round out top five places
Looking further down the table, Decathlon CMA CGM maintain their lead over Lidl-Trek in fourth and fifth respectively thanks to Felix Gall's successful week, winning the overall classification in Burgos. Jonathan Milan's treble spint wins weren't enough to cover the ground and close the gap.
Behind the top five, XDS Astana, Bahrain Victorious, Netcompany INEOS, Soudal Quickstep and Alpecin - Premier Tech are well adrift of the elusive top places, but their consistent results keep them firmly away from the relegation battle behind.
In terms of forward movement, Uno-X Mobility's move to WorldTour remains successful as they leapfrog Jayco AlUla to move into 11th place. Further down the rankings, Movistar have jumped into 15th over Pinarello Q36.5. The big movers were Tudor Pro Cycling as they jumped two spots to 17th at the expense of Lotto-Intermarche and Cofidis respectively.
Team Picnic Post NL remain the lowest ranked WorldTour team as their poor season rages on, sitting in 29th place on just 1,906 behind multiple ProTeams. They face an uphill battle, finding themselves almost 4000 points adrift from next lowest WorldTour team Groupama FDJ-United in 20th.

- You are wrong, they are already working on his new tt position. And yes, Trump does love you 😂👍🏼awp01-11-2026
- The Erola Jons incident was not isolated. She felt she could do that because that's how everyone treats Tadej. Remember when he said "If I say wait 2 mins do you show the middle finger and walk off angry?" about the supposed fan who did exactly that? There's nothing wrong with the nurses and doctors asking him to give autographs... but do the surgery first
Rafionain-Glas01-11-2026 - Perhaps he has what Mark Cavendish had, the Epstein-Barr Virus. It caused him severe and unexplained chronic fatigue. I hope he gets better.
parisbound0001-11-2026 - How can medical staff act like that? pretty disgraceful! the guys down and they're near seeing him off ;/
leedorney01-11-2026 - I think that this is exactly what Jonas needs at this point in his career. It's something that could revive his passion for winning, and he's physically more than capable of winning one of those races as well.
santiagobenites01-11-2026 - What a great race! Couldn't look away. Can't wait for the eurosRafionain-Glas01-11-2026
- I think other competitors also had great Tours, so it wasn't that Ferrand-Prévot necessarily failed in some way - it's more likely that the other top riders lifted their game and maybe also a bit of luck with no crashes, etc. It's the Tour de France after all. It's not meant to be easy to defend your title (the few exceptions like Pogacar prove the rule).Pogboom01-11-2026
- maybe we should put our cv at the end of each comment post ... same rights for all of us!Ketterechts01-11-2026
- hahah literally all it is. Glad im not the only one noticing, essentially this is just a blog as it is now. Run buy boys from their bedroom hehe Their very subjective aswell, people on twitter even said their pure visma fanboys, if you listen to Ruben silva guy pre TDF this year all he said turned out to be wrong and constantly fail to realize visma isnt where they was before roster wice or means to contest even RBH or Lidl anymore, ,very biased ppl and when you run ''news articles that way its problematic..miguel01-11-2026
- The new joke of the year in 2027: "If both guys (Pogi and Seixas) finish upright on their bikes and both don't get sick for some reason, I think Paul will fight Tadej to the end and will possibly beat him in 2027 at the Tour, yes, I just said that." ... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...PogiSloFans01-11-2026
