UCI Teams Update; Date: 27/02/2025
*This ranking represents the UCI points scored in 2025 among the team's top 20 riders; and how the 2023-2025 rankings stand.
You can check the previous update. UAE Team Emirates - XRG have won the UAE Tour and Vuelta a Andalucia, alongside a second place at the Volta ao Algarve over the past week (with several stage wins included) so there has been a boost of almost 1000 points over the past week. The team has built a strong gap over the rest when it comes to points scored in the yearly ranking.
Relegation fight: XDS Astana team have scored another 500 points over the past update, much due to Christian Scaroni who won the Classic Var AND Tour des Alpes Maritimes. The Italian rider is now the rider with the most UCI points this year that hasn't raced in Australia. They are now only around 300 points away from overtaking Uno-X and 700 from Arkéa. An overtake seems inevitable, and the Kazakh team has recovered around 400 points to Cofidis - now, the team is only around 3300 points away from the red line.

- Chapeau to Pauline Ferrand-Prevot on a very nice victory. She is a deceivingly powerful ride, and it was impressive how she slowly pulled away like she did, pushing a very big gear. It was an entertaining race to watch, and a pleasant surprise in the end.
santiagobenites12-04-2025 - Michael Jordan was cut from his high school baseketball team. but there are stories of Tadej racing and winning as a youth. this is a stupid article.mij12-04-2025
- I wouldn't be so sure of that.....our latest model runs have light patchy rain across du Nord into the early evening. Rain isn't overly heavy overnight but enough to possibly cause utter chaosslappers6612-04-2025
- Apart from a few outliers, in athletics, premature developers who held age group records didn’t get very far later and most athletes who became world stars never had early age records, I’d be surprised if in cycling it was any different.Mistermaumau12-04-2025
- You can enjoy it by all means but will you also take responsibility for the consequences of encouraging it through that? Because we all pay the price of the way it affects people, moods, behaviour, illness, violence, crime, social degeneration, etc, no real good comes of it or what do you feel there is to gain from it other than experiencing a momentary emotional high some might not be able to achieve any other way?Mistermaumau12-04-2025
- There's no reason we can't live in the real world while enjoying the doped up sport.Veganpotter12-04-2025
- Tadej definitely wasn't terribly out of the ordinary as a junior. Just goes to show what great coaching and a proper "supplement" regiment can turn someone into.Veganpotter12-04-2025
- Nice one. Not 100% officially a placebo but in my early days of group training in Mallorca I and another guy were reputed to ride without food (and once I paid the price for it having to be pushed back to base). On one particularly long outing things started getting difficult and the other guy mentioned he could really do with something to eat, one of the jokers offered him a home-wrapped snack, the latest nutritional supplement on the market and he started flying, showing and boasting all the way home how good he was feeling. At dinner, in front of 40 or so of his mates it was then revealed it had simply been a premeditated prank with a cheap doggy biscuit. Don’t know if anyone later ever considered experimenting with dogfood doping, was just happy not to have been selected as the victim.Mistermaumau12-04-2025
- Veganpotter, I’d take that as a compliment, like not knowing how to manufacture a bomb :-)Mistermaumau12-04-2025
- Most of us really overlook the reality of what happens physically when a bike tire goes over cobbles, we are too focused on experience, feeling and intuition to actually look at what should be a microscopic slow-motion analysis. I think it would help many to better imagine what is happening by comparing the situation to differing boat types advancing on wavy waters. You start with typical boats and play around with wave height and amplitude and then you progress onto more advanced designs, motorboats, catamarans, hovercraft, jetskis, gliders on different types of waves. Nce you can eliminate most of the wave and just skim the tops, the wave topography reduces to something minimal, this is the grail of bike design for cobbles, tough because no cobbled sector has exactly the same pattern. Does anyone know if wheel size is UCI regulated or is there a margin?Mistermaumau12-04-2025
