Relegation battle update: De Lie's crash in the Famenne Classic practically condemns Lotto to relegation. They need a miracle, such as Ewan and De Lie winning everything they have yet to race, to have a chance. Daily updated rankings 👇
UCI Points Ranking | Lotto Soudal and Israel - Premier Tech relegated unless miracle takes place
CyclingSunday, 02 October 2022 at 20:06
The new UCI points update reveals minor changes in the bottom of the standings, with only a few races this week providing the opportunity for major points to be gained.
Movistar Team with Enric Mas and Alejandro Valverde, and EF Education - EasyPost were the two benefiting teams, but at this time of year the pressure is beginning to fall as Lotto Soudal and Israel - Premier Tech were unable to close any gap in a sustainable way.
This Sunday's update by Raul Banquerí reveals Lotto Soudal over 1000 and Israel - Premier Tech over 2000 points behind Arkéa Samsic who sits in 18th spot - the last position that attributes a spot at World Tour level.
This comes as an almost complete confirmation that both teams will relegate, as none are showing signs of being able to close the gap, and with only Il Lombardia and a few one-day races left, it is virtually impossible to bring in the necessary points even with a strong campaign. Arkéa Samsic and Alpecin-Deceuninck are prepared for a promotion into World Tour.
