BEX has been safe for over 2 weeks now.
It's between Movistar, Israel and Lotto.
Are you sure EF are out of this?
They get 3 points out of Tour de l'Ain ouf of which 0 count out of riders like Piccolo and Eiking.
Or they get 3 points out of Circuito de Getxo out of which 0 count out of a team that includes Bettiol, Cort, Eiking, Carthy and Guerreiro.
And it's like that in almost every small race.
Meanwhile Israel scores around 300 points in a day like today or Lotto scores 300 points in Circuit Franco-Belge alone out of which 200 count. I don't remember the last time EF even scored 300 points on one day, may not even be in 2022 at all.
I think the relegation system is dumb because of the potential sponsor turn-off. However, if one must exist, just relegate a fixed number of teams based upon WT points and promote an equal number based upon Pro Series races.
Not sure why would relegating a fixed number of teams be better than what we have now? Especially from the potential sponsor turn-off point of view. Having certainty that some of the WT teams must be relegated is certainly not better in that regard than a system that gives a possibility that all WT teams can survive if they perform well enough.
