UCI Rankings Team Update | Uno-X on the heels of Intermarché's World Tour license; UAE dominante Vuelta and rack HUGE points
Cycling
This week's update on the UCI Rankings features numbers from the stages at the Vuelta a España, as well as the Tour of Britain which took place over the week, as well as the Maryland Cycling Classic and the GP Industria & Artigianato. UAE Team Emirates - XRG has scored over 1000 points this week, taking into consideration that each Vuelta victory earned the riders 180 points and they have won no less than four stages.
You can check the previous update. We can see that UAE Team Emirates - XRG has scored 1227 points over the past 7 days, the team that has scored the most, much due to Jay Vine, Juan Ayuso and João Almeida's stage wins at the Vuelta a España, but also Isaac del Toro's triumph at the GP Industria & Artigianato. At the Vuelta we have also had Mads Pedersen take a victory, in a week where over half of their points alone came from that. Team Visma | Lease a Bike scored 770 points and was the closest to UAE when it comes to these points.
At the Tour of Britain Romain Grégoire took the overall win, which came with 200 UCI points, whereas Remco Evenepoel scored 150 and Julian Alaphilippe scored 100 due to their podium results in the race. Meanwhile at the Maryland Cycling Classic, TotalEnergies' Sandy Dujardin took the victory and added 200 points of his own. Del Toro's victory in the Italian one-day race was also worth 200 points, despite being a level below when it came to attention from the cycling world.
Over this past week we've had XDS Astana Team adding 258 points to their tally whilst Team Picnic PostNL scored 127; Intermarché - Wanty have scored 80; Cofidis scored a mere 8; Uno-X Mobility scored 305 and Arkéa - B&B Hotels did not score a single point.
In the 2023-2025 rankings we have UAE Team Emirates - XRG with 98.365 points, at the top followed distantly by Team Visma | Lease a Bike with 68.540 and Lidl-Trek with 50.997 points. Towards the bottom is where the interest currently lies.
In 16th place XDS Astana defended their position this week and currently have 27.095 points; With a hefty buffer over Team Picnic PostNL's 26.446 and Intermarché - Wanty's 25.671 points. This week the Canadian classics will provide teams with an opportunity to score big points outside of the Vuelta, and the truth is that neither Picnic PostNL or Intermarché are taking advantage of the Spanish Grand Tour, where they are failing to achieve any meaningful result and are unlikely to do so.
Intermarché's lack of points mean that Uno-X Mobilty, who scored over 300 points this past week - mostly at the Maryland Cycling Classic with Jonas Abrahamsen and Anders Johannessen - have closed the gap further, and have 24.611 points (just over 1000 to close the gap fully). This means the relegation/promotion battle is fully alive, with only five weeks of racing remaining. The Intermarché-Lotto merger may affect this quite a lot, meaning that 19th place Uno-X could already be in position to climb to World Tour.
But this is because they have overtaken Cofidis, who barely scored a point this past week, and have now 24.349 points, losing ground to Uno-X and being out of the World Tour even in the best case scenario. However it still sits over 2000 points ahead Arkéa and is comfortably in 20th place at the moment.

- Are you MrMauMau 2.0? Nothing you are saying is really relevant. Vaguely connected, but irrelevant. The conversation is whether Schreiber impeded Brand or not.

parisbound0008-11-2026 - there needs to be space in life for pointless comments!Ketterechts08-11-2026
- That is a very lazy way of putting it but so far on this website it seems like everyone is happy to look at everything lazily, even things that annoy them intensely. All they want to do is state their feeling and position but ask most to analyse a problem or come up with solutions or improvements and you’re stunned by silence. Nobody even really knows how this all happens. It’s very simple and quick to just say the UCI did it but I bet you they didn’t, I bet you not more than 2 people were involved, more likely just 1. The UCI may be ultimately responsible but it is not their decision, this is about hierarchy, power and delegation. The fact that protest is possible also means it isn’t over and that MORE people could get involved for a thorough review which could throw up anything. It is highly likely it was a sole commissar who decided and has that power in a first round. Therein might lie the problem the UCI has to consider, is it acceptable to give so much authority to one single person when it is quite possible for them to have a natural bias or be too easily susceptible to imposed bias. Who is to say an individual in this position isn’t susceptible to collaboration with outside players with interests in the results, nations, families, teams, betting companies, etc. On the one hand we have sports where these problems have been worked on way more to reduce such problems, on the other hand we have sports with far stricter and more draconian rules not even concerning safety or obstruction that nobody really questions like false starts or stepping out of lane or zones in athletics. If cycling hastowork on itself, it would be good if protagonists (all kinds) would start doing a little more than just moaning over outcomes.Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- Yes, so why not make comments less pointless?Jumpyjohn08-11-2026
- What a race! I didn't expect Vanthourenhout to collapse like that, and Wyseure did take the fight to Nys, but there was no doubt at the end. I also wonder what Aubin Sparfel would be capable of were he to race in the elites now. In the U23 ranks he is making good work of Giel Lejeune, who himself is among the better riders in the elites, and a top 10 contender in the big races (3rd at Kleebergcross, 8th at Berencross and 5th at Heerderstrand). In the French Cup, Sparfel is significantly better than Romain Debord (8th at Koppenbergcross and 10th at the Euros) and Rémi Lelandais (12th at Koppenbergcross and 19th at the Euros).Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
- There really was nothing in it. Schreiber was so much faster, and Brand was fighting to stay in the wheel in the sprint. Schreiber did move a bit, but to say she closed the door doesn't make sense because Brand couldn't enter it anyway, abd she wasn't impeded.Rafionain-Glas08-11-2026
