UCI Rankings Team Update | Uno - X overtakes Cofidis in fight to avoid relegation; UAE remains on top of the leaderboard
Cycling
This week's update features points scored at the Skoda Tour de Luxembourg, the Tour de Slovaquie, one day classics such as the Super 8 Classic, Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen, Gooikse Pijl, Grand Prix d'Isbergues - Pas de Calais, Giro della Romagna and the World Championships - Individual Time Trial.
You can check the previous update here. As usual, UAE Team Emirates - XRG is the team having scored the most points, with a total of 1423. Brandon McNulty was the man obtaining the biggest sum of points for the team, thanks to his GC victory in Luxembourg, besides of a solid performance throughout the five days, in which he was very close to also adding a stage win to his record book.
It was the only UAE win of the week, but it was enough to break the Team Columbia - HTC former record of 85 wins in a single season. The World Championships individual time trial was also prolific for the team, as they put three riders inside the top 10 - Jay Vine, Tadej Pogacar and Isaac del Toro, awarding them 685 points.
Team Visma | Lease a Bike remains in second place, having obtained 624 weekly points. Olav Kooij and Matthew Brennan contributed more than half of those. In the case of Kooij, he got 125 after winning Grand Prix d'Isbergues - Pas de Calais, while Brennan finished second in that race after doing a perfect lead-out for his teammate, as well as finishing second again at the Super 8 Classic only behind Arnaud de Lie, who was almost the only rider giving points to his team Lotto in the past week.
Soudal Quick - Step got 1098 points, and almost half of those were achieved by Remco Evenepoel. The Belgian put up a display for the ages in Rwanda, winning the World Championships individual time trial with authority and receiving 455 points. In Slovakia, Paul Magnier dominated the sprints, winning 4 stages out of 5, but he just got 80 UCI points due to the fact that the Tour of Slovakia is a .1 race.
Jonathan Milan gave 175 points to Lidl - Trek after outsprinting everyone else at Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen, while Skjlemose finished in second in Luxembourg and got 175 additional points during the whole race.
While the top 15 remained unchanged, the fight for relegation tightens more and more. Uno - X was the main winner of the week, scoring 329 points thanks to solid performances in the one day Belgian classics and overtaking Cofidis in the process, which only managed to secure 138 units.
This put Uno - X in 19th place, only one off the safe zone, which is held by Intermarché - Wanty. The Belgian team only got 241 points this week, but they still have a comfortable advantage of 1241 points over Uno - X with less than one month of competition remaining.

- ANATOMY OF A G.O.A.T. EDDY MERCKX about TADEJ POGAČAR: Merckx: “He has revived a style of cycling that we had almost forgotten. He is now better than me.” Key statements by Merckx about Pogačar in 2026: - Acknowledging his superiority: This time, Merckx openly admitted, without any subsequent backtracking or reservations, that Pogačar had surpassed him and was now above him. This contrasts with 2024, when he quickly softened his remarks about Pogačar being faster. - The possibility of a historic triple (Giro, Tour and Vuelta): During the July Tour de France (where Pogi claimed his fifth title), Merckx stated that Pogi was the only cyclist in history capable of winning all three Grand Tours (the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España) in a single season, provided the conditions were right and he had sufficient team support. - Lack of serious competition: Merckx emphasised that Pogačar has no real rivals in the mountains since 2024, thanks to his extraordinary climbing ability and the fact that he continues to improve despite still being under 28 (he turned 28 in autumn 2026). - Praise for his racing style: Merckx highlighted how Pogačar is bringing back the aggressive, uncompromising spirit of cycling's golden era, when races were not merely about calculated stages and tactical conservatism, but about attacking from long distances. PS: This is not "boring" ... this is called making real history, not only statistical history. Capish?PogiSloFans09-11-2026
- It’s off-season mate, I’m bored and fed up with the mediocrity of people unwilling to provoke change when they admit things aren’t right. What have you done lately to make anyone realise you won’t put up with things? What conversation, are you dictating to me which part of the incident I have to be interested in or telling me other parts are taboo? That’s what I guess the UCI would really like, let them moan, let it blow over for them pass on to the next thing, let’s keep the status quo, let’s try our best not reviewing or revealing anything about decision-making just like every time before, they’re used to it by now so we can take the risk they’ll never give us grief.Jumpyjohn09-11-2026
- As far as CUTD headlines go this is far from the worst. It helps if you look at it twice and realise it’s a list of descriptions from distinct events. You can’t deny the reality of being a rival if you consider the picture immediately below, frontrunner is unfortunate but I’m guessing this time it’s more a linguistic failure than a clickbaiting opportunity. Just a reminder that this is not an anglo website, for those who find it too tedious to interpret text to get the gist of things which are rarely of great importance (as opposed to eg purposely biaised DOJ extradition translations in order to achieve hidden agendas), there are plenty of anglo cycling websites google can suggest.Jumpyjohn09-11-2026
- Ah, finally someone willing to be a bit proactive.Jumpyjohn09-11-2026
- So? Do you understand the way instructions, decisions and authority work? Do you think in a football match if after a match (or even after play has gone on) a player tells the referee he did touch the ball with his hands when the referee didn’t award opponents a penalty that they will revise the score or force a replay? You really don’t get my point, it’s not against the rider but everyone here is so emotional for her they can’t get back to an issue which needs resolving for the future and the first step (or maybe second) is to try to understand how and why it happens, none of you have contributed in the least to that. All everyone is interested in is letting everyone know they agree how unjust it was, not even sure anyone thinks that could affect anything.Jumpyjohn09-11-2026
- Shouldn’t you be in MOUrning?Jumpyjohn09-11-2026
- Maybe you don’t like it and that’s fine, we all have different sensibilities and topics that touch us, but as you try to show me, it doesn’t hurt to reflect and compare ourselves to others behaving similarly. What precisely is the difference between a sports fan interested in every detail of his/her hero’s life and a celeb fan having the same hobby? It’s far more interesting to learn and think about how and why (which) people do things than reading about what they are actually doing. And just to add another level, maybe you’ll agree we don’t use the same value system for everyone, we discriminate in an enormous number of systematic ways. For example, when is the last time you saw a discussion arguing about the achievements of two politicians to compare or for that matter two business leaders apart from the comparison of hypothetical wealth accumulated? Perhaps you misunderstood the intention?Jumpyjohn09-11-2026
- I don’t think I know what’s beneath the surface but I am willing to think about it, discuss it, compare it to a known past, extrapolate to a potential future and ask/try to find out truth or even take action within my powers (boycotting something or someone is within EVERY person’s reach). If you think your attitude has more chance of changing a result, a process, a system or an institution or it just makes you feel good, keep at it but to me it looks like you’ve already given up before trying.Jumpyjohn09-11-2026
- All journalists should start asking the UCI uncomfortable questions, sending inquiries about the interpretation of the rules and the justification of the results. This is the only way to change anything.averagecyclist09-11-2026
- how else is there to look at things? we are responding to words and pictures, we are not there. your long winded replies make zero sense to anyone. pretty much everyone but you says the same thing. MS was robbed. somehow you think you're so smart to dig beneath the surface and discover something no one else, including the opposing coach and cyclist, saw. lol. you are a tool.mij09-11-2026
