The new UCI rankings reveal changes at the bottom of the standings, as Cofidis has climbed back up the standings to leave the last maintenance position, whilst at the bottom Israel - Premier Tech begins to reach an unsalvageable position.
This week has seen several semi-classics in Belgium and Italy, the World Championships' Time-Trial, the Skoda Tour Luxembourg and Tour of Slovakia. This has created an interesting mix of races, in which Cofidis took advantage of to take 481 points and climb into 16th position, overtaking EF Education-EasyPost and Team BikeExchange - Jayco who now sits 18th place.
The Australian team now sit 653 points ahead of Lotto Soudal who have had a strong week but remains in a dangerous position.
