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.

- "I don't think it's too controversial to say that the women's Tour is much better view than the men's." ... WHY???: 1) Because Demi Vollering is Dutch? 2) Because Jonas is a Dane, but keeps constantly losing to Pogi, a Slovenian? 3) Because Pogi is beating everyone with his "left foot"? 4)Because you can't handle the losses anymore? Just asking...for a friend.PogiSloFans12-08-2026
- "Pogacar will do what he wants" ... That's right... and there is noting anyone can do about it !!!PogiSloFans12-08-2026
- Pogi is a cycling superstar, an extremely famous talented cyclist, but yet a normal down to earth person. He's so normal because he's from Slovenia, a former almost Balkan country, where most people are down to earth and normal. Unlike the Americans, who always think they are No.1, which is far from the truth. They are becoming the most hated people in the world. The EU hates them, the Middle East hates them, Canada hates them, South America hates them, China hates them ... all because of Trump, his MAGA republican politicians and his MAGA voters. Thank god Pogi isn't American.PogiSloFans12-08-2026
- from a racing fans point of view of cause as a spectacle for some good racing and various winners of stages the womens TDF was great. Ok the womens peloton certainly doesnt have the depth of talent compared to the mens they do some great racing. Demi moving to FDJ after being dudded by SD worx and Reusser going to Movistar has been good for the sport . SD worx still get results thru their sprinter weibes and breggen. Breggen has done well after not racing for a few years. I follow the womens tour,MTB,'cross as much as the mens for the competitiveness actually more for MTB and 'cross. the womens racers appear to be a more even riding field whereas the mens in some races just plain boring and just dont look right.

- This team are trying very hard to become 2nd rate. Thomas and co are killing them. He must go, clueless off of the bike.
